Canada maintains a sound and efficient banking system under the Bank Act of 1871. Canadian chartered banks, plus two old savings banks and the Bank of Canada, formed a strong financial framework with assets over a billion dollars for three institutions. Banks supported war effort by staffing shifts, issuing war savings instruments, and aiding government needs while aiding veterans’ reintegration in the postwar period.
