Alberta Treasury Branches, also known as ATB Financial, is a full service financial institution and crown corporation owned by the Government of Alberta and based in Edmonton, Alberta. With assets of C$17.6 billion, ATB is the largest Albertan-based financial institution. ATB is not a chartered bank, and unlike other banks operating in Canada, ATB is regulated entirely by the Government of Alberta, under the authority of the Alberta Treasury Branches Act, Chapter A-37.9, 1997, and Treasury Branches Regulation 187/97. ATB was created by the first Social Credit ministry under William Aberhart in 1938, after earlier attempts to place Alberta's banks under the provincial government's control were thwarted by the federal government. The first Alberta Treasury Board was opened in Rocky Mountain House on September 29 of that year. ATB is the most significant surviving remmant of social credit economic policies in Alberta.  1, fiche 1, Anglais, - Alberta%20Treasury%20Branches
