What ATB Capital Markets does

ATB Capital Markets, also referred to as ATB Cormark Capital Markets, is the institutional capital markets arm of ATB Financial, Alberta's Crown corporation wholly owned by the Province of Alberta. It operates as a wholly-owned subsidiary alongside ATB Investment Management, ATB Wealth, ATB Prosper (self-directed online investing), and ATB Ventures (financial technology and innovation). As a provincial financial institution, ATB Financial claims the largest branch network in Alberta and offers a comprehensive suite of personal banking, business banking, wealth management, and capital markets services under a unified brand ecosystem.

The entity's product surface spans personal chequing and savings accounts (including ATB Climber Savings Account and Springboard Savings Account), registered accounts (RRSP, TFSA, FHSA, RRIF, RESP), GICs, mortgages and HELOCs, credit cards, US dollar banking, and insurance products. Digital infrastructure centers on the ATB Personal online and mobile platform, ATB Business Online and ATB Business Mobile for commercial clients, ATB FX Online for business foreign exchange with international wires in over 25 currencies, and Global Transfers supporting cross-border payments to 46 countries in 27 currencies. Account aggregation features (TrackIt, ATB Investor Connect) link ATB Wealth and ATB Prosper accounts into ATB Personal for unified balance visibility. Capital markets services specifically include institutional research, sales, trading, and investment banking under ATB Cormark Capital Markets.

Revenue is generated primarily through net interest income on deposits and loans, transaction and service fees (Interac e-Transfers, Global Transfers, wires, overdraft, stop payments, FX), wealth management and investment management fees, and credit product revenue from cards, mortgages, and specialized lending in agriculture and real estate development. Customer acquisition is supported through promotional cash offers (up to $900 for new clients; up to $6,000 mortgage cash back), relationship-based commercial and wealth advisory channels, and a multi-channel marketing presence including the Good Advice content hub, The Twenty-Four economic insights, and an Alberta Mortgage Rate Report. The go-to-market is hybrid: digital-first retail banking supplemented by the densest physical branch network in the province and industry-specialist relationship managers for commercial and capital markets clients.
