General Bank of Canada (GBC), headquartered in Edmonton, Alberta, is a Schedule 1 Chartered bank and part of the Wheaton Group.

After years of success, we aim to harness the advantages of our small, nimble structure and work to redefine banking in a digital era. As we strive to build a bank for the future, we take pride in our continuous certification as a Great Place to Work in Alberta for five

consecutive years. We love it here and know you will too!
