Inspired by dealings with financial institutions that didn’t fully understand the unique dynamics of doing business in Western Canada, CWB’s founders, Dr. Charles Allard and Eugene Pechet, decided to start a bank headquartered in the West for the West. They envisioned a bank that would provide levels of service unheard of at other financial institutions. Management practices would be nimble and non-bureaucratic, with local decision-making based on prudence and common sense. The overall goal was to achieve continuous, sustainable growth. Since then, we’ve come a long way as an organization, but share those same fundamental ideals. We’ve broadened our financial service offerings—now providing service in banking, trust services and wealth management—and have expanded our reach into select locations across Canada.
