The Crédit foncier franco-canadien was a Canadian trust and loan company that existed from 1880 to 1986.
The company was incorporated in Quebec on 24 July 1880 by the Act to incorporate the Credit Foncier-Franco Canadien.[1] The sponsors of the incorporation were Raphaël Maximillien Cahen d'Anvers of Paris, Edmond Jean Joubert of Paris, Charles Louis Sautter of Paris, Étienne Moranges of Versailles, Joseph-Adolphe Chapleau of Montreal, Étienne-Théodore Pâquet of Quebec City, Jonathan Saxton Campbell Würtele of Montreal, and Louis-Napoléan Carrier of Lévis. Joubert and Sautter both were officers of the Banque de Paris et des Pays-Bas.[2]
In May 1986, Montreal Trust acquired Crédit foncier from the Montreal City and District Savings Bank for $130 million. The acquisition made Montreal Trust the country's fourth largest trust company after Canada Trust, Royal Trust, and National Trust.[3] Effective 1 January 1987, Crédit foncier merged into Montreal Trust, bringing and end to the corporation after 106 years.[4]
