The initiative was first revealed in July as part of a commitment by ATB to increase its lending capacity to small business to offset the effects of tight credit markets by as much as $15 billion. Changes to ATB’s notional capital requirements will increase its lending capacity by about $8 billion and the investment deposit product would raise another $7 billion, ATB said at the time.

“For the first time, we are offering every Albertan a great opportunity to invest directly in Alberta,” said Dave Mowat, ATB president and CEO.
