<p><span id="more-24"></span></p>
<p><strong>History</strong></p>
<p>ATB was established in 1938, by the Government of Alberta to extend         basic financial services to Albertans. Our first branch opened on September         29, 1938 in Rocky Mountain House. ATB became a provincial Crown Corporation in October 1997 under the         authority of the <a href="http://www.qp.gov.ab.ca/Documents/acts/A37.CFM" target="_blank">Alberta         Treasury Branches Act Chapter A-37.9, 1997</a> and         <a href="http://www.qp.gov.ab.ca/Documents/REGS/1997_187.CFM" target="_blank">Treasury         Branches Regulation 187/97</a>. In January 2002, we launched our new corporate identity, ATB Financial.          This new identifier confirms the business we are in &#8211; providing a full range of financial          services to Alberta &#8211; and reconfirms our commitment to the people of our province.</p>
<p>&#8220;<a href="http://www.atb.com/Dev/aboutatb/atb_book.asp">Albertans Investing in Alberta</a>&#8221; is a publication that covers the history of        ATB Financial from 1938 to 1999.</p>
<p>ATB operates under a Board of Directors appointed by the Lieutenant Govenor in Council, and had investment, liquidity          and risk standards comparable to other financial institutions.</p>
