The Bank of Nova Scotia, better known as Scotiabank, was established in Halifax, Nova Scotia, in 1832 by a Royal Charter of 1832. Founded as a commercial bank, Scotiabank has since evolved into a diversified financial services provider. Over the past 198 years, Scotiabank has grown to become a leading global financial institution, with operations in more than 55 countries around the world. Scotiabank has made a number of important acquisitions and partnerships since its inception, including investments in banking and financial institutions in the Caribbean and Central and South America. In 1967, the bank acquired Goguen Bisson & Co., a leading merchant bank in the Province of Québec. In 1974, Scotiabank acquired the Bank of New Brunswick, giving it a presence across the Atlantic provinces. In 1995, Scotiabank purchased Newcourt Credit Group, allowing it to expand its operations in corporate and consumer finance. Through partnerships and additional acquisitions, Scotiabank has continued to expand its operations. In 1999, the bank became a founding partner of the Scotia Plaza, one of the tallest buildings in Canada. In 2000, the bank added an independent asset management company to its portfolio with the acquisition of Dundee Bancorp. The bank further evolved in 2002 when it acquired a minority stake in the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China. Scotiabank underwent a major restructuring and rebranding in the early 2010s, with a renewed focus on customer service. This included a new tagline – “You’re Richer Than You Think” – new service standards and initiatives, and an increased emphasis on digital and mobile banking. Today, Scotiabank is the third-largest bank in Canada and has operations around the world. The bank provides retail, commercial, and institutional banking services, and also has a presence in wealth management, insurance, and capital markets.
