Our Purpose and Values

Our mission, since our founding, has embodied a clear purpose to conduct our nation’s banking and investment business and activities abroad. With our unique experience and understanding gained over the past half-century, we continue to bring together opportunities and resources with the people who can use them to build new and better futures for all.

Through continual improvements to our services, we demonstrate our ongoing commitments to the core banking values of integrity, safety, confidentiality, transparency, and innovation – and show our respect for the trust confided in us by our stakeholders. Every day, we work to instil and apply these best banking principles to serve our customers and stakeholders, our communities inside and outside the bank, and all our partners worldwide.
