Peace Hills Trust is Canada’s largest and oldest First Nations owned federally regulated financial institution and is also Canada’s only independent Trust Company.
Driven by a vision to satisfy the unique financial needs of the Native community the Samson Cree Nation embarked on an ambitious project in 1972 which culminated with the incorporation of Peace Hills Trust on November 19 1980. Nearly 40 years has passed since that historic day when Peace Hills Trust first opened its doors.
We’re proud that we are fulfilling the predictions of the founding members who worked hard to get our Company set in motion.
We were founded with the objective of providing financial and trust services on a national basis to First Nations and their communities. The company has a primary market in First Nations’ administrations their businesses and in their members. Peace Hills Trust has a regional branch concept to position itself on or off reserve to serve the largest number of First Nations’ customers in a given area. In addition to First Nations’ business we have many opportunities with non-First Nations customers.
