The branch – ATB’s 162nd in Alberta – features a bold, student-friendly design and offers a full range of financial services to SAIT’s students and staff. ATB also revealed details Tuesday about its unique new partnership with SAIT. The largest Alberta-based financial institution pledged to invest $25,000 in the SAIT community over the next five years, through an innovative combination of scholarships and sponsorships.

That’s what the new branch design and the new partnership is all about.” ATB Financial, with assets of $24.5 billion, provides Retail Financial Services, Investor Services, and Corporate Financial Services to more than 660,000 Albertans in 244 communities.
