Bank of Montreal, Canada's first chartered bank, opened for business on November 3, 1817. It provided Canada's first sound and plentiful currency and has played a major and continuing role in the development of the country, taking part in the financing of the first transcontinental railway in the 1880s. The Bank took part in the creation of Canadian Confederation in 1867, and served as Canada's central bank until 1935. The first Canadian bank to open branches abroad, it has long been active in markets in Europe, Latin America, and East Asia as well as in the United States. Today it continues as one of Canada's pre-eminent financial institutions and a significant presence in United States and world markets.
