ATB Financial is a crown corporation owned by the Province of Alberta, employing more than 5,500 people and serving 753,000 people and businesses.
The firm is not a chartered bank but is regulated by the government of Alberta under Canada’s Treasury Branches Regulation.
It launched its own challenger bank, Brightside, in January 2019. The new bank will feature a technology stack provided by Technisys, which beat out competition from Thought Machine, Fidor and Mambu.
Holbrook stated online that he would not be “going far” and is looking forward to seeing where CEO Curtis Stange takes the company.
