  • Sir Edmund Walker
    SIR EDMUND WALKER C. W. COLBY BORN in 1848, Sir Edmund Walker belonged to the generation which was just coming to manhood when the Dominion of Canada took the place of British North America. As he joined the staff of the Canadian Bank of Commerce less than thirteen months after Confederation, it may be said that his career coincided exactly with the period which has elapsed since Canada undertook to become a nation of the modem world. This fact has more meaning than could be attached to a mere chronological coincidence. It may be associated with the central motive of his life. Starting out at a moment when patriotism was in the air, he became a patriot in the fullest sense. There seems never to have been a time when public spirit did not inspire his aspirations and impel his acts. Through­ out fifty-six years of incessant effort he continued to plan and give and build for the benefit of Canada. Lord Milner has said that when he thinks of the British Empire he does not feel impelled to wave a flag, but rather to go off by him­ self in a corner and pray. Sir Edmund Walker's patriotism was of the same character. At least it lacked wholly the flamboyant quality which one associates with fervid rhetoric and boisterous flag-waving. Moreover with him, as with the Benedictine monk. to labour was to pray. He built up a great bank, and had every possible opportunity to secure information, by the most legitimate means, which through thought and planning could be made to yield large personal profits in cash.

    NBER WORKING PAPER SERIES WHY DIDTHEBANK OF CANADA EMERGE IN 1935? Michael Bordo Angela Redish Working Paper No. 2079 NATIONAL BUREAU OF ECONOMIC RESEARCH 1050 Massachusetts Avenue Cambridge, MA 02138 November 1986 The research reported here is part of the NBER's research program in Financial Markets and Monetary Economics. Any opinions expressed are those of the authors and not those of the National Bureau of Economic Research. NBER Working Paper #2079 November 1986 Why Did the Bank of Canada Emerge in 1935? ABSTRACT Three possible explanations for the emergence of the Canadian central bank in 1935 are examined: that it reflected the need of competitive banking systems for a lender of the last resort; that it was necessary to anchor the unregulated Canadian monetary system after the abandonment of the gold standard in 1929; and that it was a response to political rather than purely economic pressures. Evidence from a variety of sources (contemporary statements to a Royal Comission, the correspondence of chartered bankers, newspaper reports, academic writings and the estimation of time series econometric models) rejects the first two hypotheses and supports the third.

  • BANK MERGERS: IS BIGGER BETTER? Introduction
    BANK MERGERS: IS BIGGER BETTER? Introduction In January 1998, the Bank of Montreal and the Royal Bank of Canada announced plans to merge and create one superbank. A few months later, in April, the Toronto Dominion Bank and the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce announced similar plans. The proposed bank mergers caught many people off guard, including Minister of Finance Paul Martin. In a Macleans interview, Martin said, "Just because they decided to get into bed together doesnt mean that I have to bless their union." Martins message seemed to be that Ottawa, not the banks, would decide the future of banking in Canada. "There will be no mergers in the banking sector until we are convinced that [it] is what is best for Canadians, and we will not be stampeded into making that decision." According to the banks, the proposed mergers were a natural response to a changing and highly competitive global marketplace. Mergers, they said, provide a way of maintaining a strong Canadian presence in the banking industry. Certainly, recent technological advances have dramatically changed the manner in which the financial services industry conduct their business, and the above- mentioned banks feel, therefore, that they need to be bigger to compete and to have a substantial presence in the global banking community. Martin himself acknowledged the changed nature of banking when he said, "If you look back at banking five years ago, you might as well look back two centuries." While the proposed bank mergers brought attention to the challenges facing Canadas banks, these challenges are not peculiar to the banks alone.

  • The National Bank of Canada Accelerates Deployments at Scale
    The National Bank of Canada Accelerates Deployments at Scale About National Bank Executive Summary of Canada The National Bank of Canada (NBC), the country’s sixth-largest commercial bank, set out to transform its infrastructure for speed and scale. NBC’s ultimate goal was to dedicate more of the organization’s time and resources to business innovation instead of infrastructure management. By shifting away from an on-premises installation of its core trading solution, Murex’s MX.3 platform, the bank was able to provision new instances in minutes instead of months and gain better visibility into costs. NBC now runs its non-production MX.3 environments exclusively on Amazon EC2 instances. A Commercial Bank Seeks an Easier-to-Manage Solution The National Bank of Canada (NBC), one of Canada’s largest financial services organizations, wanted to optimize its existing on-premises installation of MX.3, an open platform from Murex that supports trading, treasury, risk, and post-trade operations. The National Bank of Canada Across the numerous projects in parallel, MX.3 ran on more than 100 servers in the bank’s own data center. NBC spent significant time and resources managing and upgrading this (NBC) is the sixth-largest on-premises infrastructure, making deployments of new installations a complex, nearly commercial bank in Canada, impossible process. “We wanted to scale the infrastructure to provision environments to with 2.4 million customers meet growing business needs. The business continued to enhance MX.3 and create new and branches in most projects, but it typically took weeks or months to order, procure, and implement new Canadian provinces.

  • Private Bankers in Ontario Hayseed Capitalists: Private Bankers in Ontario
    HAYSEED CAPITALISTS: PRIVATE BANKERS IN ONTARIO HAYSEED CAPITALISTS: PRIVATE BANKERS IN ONTARIO by STEPHEN EDWARD mORNING, B.A., M.A. A Thesis Submitted to the School of Graduate Studies in Partial Fulfilment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy McMaster University August, 1994 -- -- --- - --------------- DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY (1994) McMASTER UNIVERSITY (History) Hamilton, Ontario TITLE: Hayseed Capitalists: Private Bankers in Ontario AUTHOR: Stephen Edward Thorning, B.A. (University of Guelph) M.A. (McMaster University) SUPERVJSOR: Professor John C. Weaver NUMBER OF PAGES: viii, 502 ii ABSTRACT The structure of the Canadian banking system, and the establishment of strong chartered banks at a relatively early stage, have overshadowed banking institutions that operated outside the chartered system. The non-chartered or private banks can be categorized into three groups: the joint stock banks of the 1830s, the urban private bankers who appeared in the 1850s and after, and the small-town private banks of the post-1868 period. AJI three types of private banks were established to fill perceived niches in the chartered bank system. Those of the 1830s possessed an anti-establishment, hinterland bias. The urban private bankers specialized in savings and foreign exchange transactions, and often branched out into insurance, debentures, and ultimately stocks and bonds. The small town private banks began and prospered when the needs of small hinterland communities outpaced the inclination and ability of chartered banks to provide them with banking facilities. Unlike the urban private bankers, those in small towns offered a full range of banking services, and they often acted as insurance and real estate agencies as well.

  • Bank to Toronto – Saskatchewan Branches: 1906-1955 Version 8
    Bank to Toronto – Saskatchewan Branches: 1906-1955 Version 8 The Bank of Toronto was established in Toronto, Ontario in 1855. The Western branches were reportedly directed from the Winnipeg office. The Bank of Toronto and the Dominion Bank (est. in 1871 in Toronto) merged in 1955 to form the Toronto-Dominion Bank, also now referred to as the TD Bank Group or TD Canada Trust. In 1906 the Bank of Toronto opened the first three of about 30 Saskatchewan branches, starting in Yorkton (May __, 1906), then at Wolseley (July 20), and the third at Langenburg (Sept. 21). [Source: letter from Toronto-Dominion Bank Archives to Cecil Tannahill, 4 Nov. 1981; on file at the Provincial Archives of Saskatchewan; R-925.1 – Cecil Tannahill] On August 6, 1919, the construction publication Contract Record reported the following on p. 45: The Bank of Toronto constructed many of its buildings following a standard design, as was common practice then for all banks and remains so today, as part of establishing a highly visible corporate image for the public. In Saskatchewan, The Bank of Toronto buildings were primarily wooden structures; however a few brick buildings were erected as well. How it was decided which community would receive the standard wooden design, and which the more elaborate brick structures has not yet been determined; nor has the names of any architects or contractors associated with the construction, save for the 13 unidentified buildings mention in the above Contract Record notice. In this report, the primary source for data relating to the Bank of Toronto is the annual banking section of the Canadian Almanac (see sample below).
