About First Nations Bank of Canada

At First Nations Bank of Canada plays a vital role in the financial aspect of Nation Building. Since 1996, the business has helped Indigenous peoples, governments, and enterprises across the country overcome financial barriers to build brighter futures and improve quality of life on their lands.

Founded with a vision to establish a federally chartered bank serving both Indigenous and non-Indigenous people throughout Canada, FNBC was conceived and developed by Indigenous people, for Indigenous people.
