We take pride in recognizing our Diversity and Inclusion history. The Bank's archives are among the oldest in Canadian banking and in North American business.

Our Diversity and Inclusion journey began in 1889 when we opened our first branch in the West Indies and since then we have been on the forefront of change and take pride in our rich and diverse past and future.
