Biography/Administrative history:

Show detail Hide detail

Merchants' Bank of Canada : The Merchants' Bank, later the Merchants' Bank of Canada, was incorporated in 1861 by an Act of Parliament of the Province of Canada (24 Vic., Cap 89). Its head office was in Montreal. In 1864 its charter was amended (27-28 Vic., Can. 83), and in 1868 it absorbed the Commercial Bank which had been founded in 1831. In 1877 it ranked as the second largest bank in Canada, and by 1921 its operations had grown to include some 400 branches. In that year, however, financial difficulties were encountered and an amalgamation with the Bank of Montreal was arranged.
