Peace Hills Trust Company

About this business

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, our sole shareholder, the Samson Cree Nation embarked on an ambitious project in 1972 which culminated with the incorporation of Peace Hills Trust on November 19, 1980. 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. We’re proud that we are fulfilling the vision of the founding members who worked hard to get our Company set in motion.
