Canadian Western Bank

Canadian Western Bank (CWB) is a Schedule I domestic chartered bank founded in 1988 (through the merger of the Bank of Alberta and Western & Pacific Bank) and headquartered in Edmonton, Alberta at Canadian Western Bank Place. Historically the largest publicly traded Schedule I bank headquartered in Western Canada and listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX: CWB), it held roughly CA$43 billion in assets and focused on full-service business and commercial banking, personal banking, equipment financing and leasing, trust services, and wealth management across a network of affiliated entities. In June 2024 National Bank of Canada agreed to acquire CWB in an all-share deal valued at roughly CA$5 billion, and the acquisition closed in early 2025; CWB now operates as a subsidiary of National Bank of Canada and its branches and brand are being wound down and rebranded under National Bank. Consistent with Canada's voluntary and still fragmented open-finance landscape — the federal Consumer-Driven Banking framework was legislated in 2024 (Budget 2024 / Fall Economic Statement, overseen by the FCAC) but is not yet operational — CWB publishes no first-party public developer portal and no documented public API. Its developer and API hostnames do not resolve, and the entire cwbank.com domain now 301-redirects to National Bank of Canada (nbc.ca). Consumer-permissioned account and transaction data is reached only indirectly through third-party data aggregators (Plaid is confirmed via aggregator coverage directories). No first-party FDX-conformant data-access API was found. This is an honest identity-only, aggregator-only record for an institution now absorbed into National Bank of Canada.

Canadian Western Bank is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Financial Services, Banking, Canada, Schedule I Bank, and Business Banking.
