Join a Challenger

At EQB, we're remaking banking so every Canadian gets ahead, every day. Serving nearly 4 million Canadians from coast to coast, we offer a wide variety of financial services from banking and lending, to trust and credit union solutions. And as the exclusive financial partner of Loblaw Companies Limited's PC Optimum™ loyalty program, we're woven into the daily lives of more than 18 million members across Canada.

We've been at this since 1970, challenging the conventions of traditional banking with smarter, faster, and more connected financial experiences.

What's kept us moving? The people behind it all: challengers who ask better questions, push back on old assumptions, and look for a better way forward.
