Show detail Hide detail

Bank of Montreal : The Bank of Montreal was organized on 23 June 1817, when nine Montreal merchants signed articles of association to establish the first permanent bank in Canada. A charter was obtained by an Act of Parliament of the Province of Lower Canada in 1822; it was amended in 1830 and renewed in 1841. In 1871, a new charter was obtained under the Bank Act. The Bank of Montreal absorbed the Bank of British North America in 1918, the Merchants' Bank of Bank in 1921, and Molson's Bank in 1925.
