A little about ATB:

Anyone can say they are an equal opportunity employer.

But ATB lives, and invests deeply in, this reality every day. Our Diversity, Inclusion & Belonging leadership team has created a people-first strategy built on empathy, insight and the pursuit of true change. We believe you belong here—as you are and who you are—and we trust you’ll feel that from your first interactions with us.

Be great. Be you. Believe.

There’s something special about working at ATB, and it’s been recognized on every top employer list that matters. Maybe it’s our exceptional culture where your total wellness is supported and you’re free to bring your whole self to work. Maybe it’s our commitment to the growth mindset and our unrelenting thirst for making it possible. Or maybe it’s the way we obsess over every opportunity to meaningfully matter in the legacies and livelihoods of our clients and our fellow Albertans—even the ones who aren’t our customers.

Whatever it is, you won’t find a more genuine, driven and knowledgeable group of humans on the planet. Or at least, in Alberta. Believe it.

We don’t want to be Alberta’s most loved bank.

We want to be Alberta’s most loved brand. And that takes a trailblazing spirit, an open mind and a level of encouragement you can’t imagine at any workplace, let alone a financial institution.

We believe ATB exists to make it possible for our clients—whatever that it may be for them. We strive to find a better way...in more than just banking. And we see each day as a chance to uplift legacies and livelihoods, in ways not yet imagined.

Imagine what we can do for you.
