The Bank of Alberta was a bank based in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada from 1984 to 1988.[1] It was formed during the early 1980s recession in Canada, a challenging economic environment that pushed many competitors to rein in their activities in key western markets.[1] As a result, the bank ultimately had a significant impact on the evolution of modern banking in Western Canada.[2]
