History

In 1970, the bank acquired the Banque populaire, which had been founded in 1848 as the Caisse d'économie de Notre-Dame de Québec. In 1977 it acquired the Unity Bank of Canada, a small Toronto bank founded in 1972.

It merged with the Banque Canadienne Nationale to form the National Bank of Canada in 1979. [5]
