Who We Are

General Bank of Canada was founded to satisfy the need for greater choice when financing a vehicle. Our parent company, Firstcan Management Inc., has been involved in automotive services and insurance throughout Canada for the past twenty years.

In April, 2005, General Bank of Canada became Canada’s twentieth Schedule 1 chartered bank.

Our selling point comes as much from who we aren’t as is does from who we are. We do not have a branch network, and we are not in the business of full service retail banking. What does that mean for you?

If you are buying a car, we’re here to help with a new or used vehicle loan. If you have money to invest, we pay great rates on GIC’s. That’s it. You won’t be receiving any sales calls from a Call Centre just as you are sitting down to dinner. And we won’t clutter your mail box with yet another credit card offer.

We are committed to the highest level of customer service. When you call the General Bank you can speak directly with a member of our team. They will be more than happy to answer any questions you may have. You can contact us at, 1.877.443.5620.

Our automotive experience provides the basis for GBC’s dedication to customer satisfaction. Through an extensive network of automotive dealerships across Canada, GBC provides new and used car buyers with the very best rates possible. Our commitment to customer service is demonstrated by quick and competitive credit decisions and settlement.

We provide competitive Guaranteed Investment Certificates to investors across Canada through a network of independent deposit brokers, and select investment and securities dealers.

GBC is a member of the Canadian Deposit Insurance Corporation, meaning our deposits are insured up to a maximum of $100,000. See our Deposit Register for more information on products offered and CDIC coverage.

Whether applying for purchasing a vehicle or investing in a GIC, General Bank of Canada is committed to help provide you and your family with the financial security you deserve.
