Changes to ATB’s notional capital requirements will increase its lending capacity by about $8 billion and the investment deposit product would raise another $7 billion, ATB said at the time.

Funds raised by selling the notes will be used for loans to qualified Albertans and Alberta businesses.

“For the first time, we are offering every Albertan a great opportunity to invest directly in Alberta,” said Dave Mowat, ATB president and CEO.
