First Nations Bank of Canada - Chief Information Officer

First Nations Bank of Canada is a federally chartered bank primarily focused on providing financial services to the Indigenous marketplace in Canada.
Over 87% Indigenous owned and controlled, FNBC is a leader in advocating for the growth of the Indigenous economy and the economic well-being of Indigenous people.
Headquartered in Saskatoon, SK, FNBC takes pride in its workforce of over 63% Indigenous employees working at locations across Canada.
FNBC serves both Indigenous and non-Indigenous clients but places a strong emphasis on meeting the needs of Indigenous communities, governments, and businesses.
FNBC services include personal banking, commercial lending, mortgages, and investment solutions, while also extending specialized support to remote and northern communities where access to financial services is often limited.
With branches and community banking centres located in key regions, the bank is committed to bridging gaps in accessibility and tailoring financial products to align with Indigenous realities and priorities.
Beyond day-to-day banking, FNBC plays an important role in advancing economic reconciliation by empowering Indigenous ownership and participation in the financial sector.
Its initiatives, such as partnering with the Business Development Bank of Canada on a $100 million fund to support Indigenous business acquisitions, highlight its commitment to economic development and long-term sustainability in Indigenous communities.
