Not a bank

[edit]

Regarding the text:

ATB is not a chartered bank, and unlike other banks operating in Canada, ATB is regulated entirely by the Government of Alberta, under the authority of the Alberta Treasury Branches Act, Chapter A-37.9, 1997, and Treasury Branches Regulation 187/97.

The text "other banks", impies the ATB is a bank, but is uniquely exempt from federal jurisdiction. But all banks are under federal jursidiction. The ATB avoids federal jurisdiction only by not being a bank. This is similiar to other financial institutions (Credit Unions), which fall under provincial jurisdiction for the same reason. --Rob (talk) 02:42, 26 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]


Scandal

[edit]

I restored the section: "subject of scandal in the late 1980s after clients such as Peter Pocklington's Gainers Foods defaulted on loans that were often granted for political reasons." and I added West Edmonton Mall.

I found it in the edit history but I could not see any reasons why it was removed. I added some citations but I am still learning the format, not sure how to deep link into the hansard PDF. 75.159.186.37 (talk) 09:20, 27 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Reads like an advertisement

[edit]

Some of this article seems to be copypasta from ATB's website. 75.159.186.37 (talk) 09:20, 27 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
