Canadian Western Bank
Canadian Western Bank (CWB) is a Schedule I domestic chartered bank founded in 1988 (through the merger of the Bank of Alberta and Western & Pacific Bank) and headquartered in Edmonton, Alberta at Canadian Western Bank Place. Historically the largest publicly traded Schedule I bank headquartered in Western Canada and listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX: CWB), it held roughly CA$43 billion in assets and focused on full-service business and commercial banking, personal banking, equipment financing and leasing, trust services, and wealth management across a network of affiliated entities. In June 2024 National Bank of Canada agreed to acquire CWB in an all-share deal valued at roughly CA$5 billion, and the acquisition closed in early 2025; CWB now operates as a subsidiary of National Bank of Canada and its branches and brand are being wound down and rebranded under National Bank. Consistent with Canada's voluntary and still fragmented open-finance landscape — the federal Consumer-Driven Banking framework was legislated in 2024 (Budget 2024 / Fall Economic Statement, overseen by the FCAC) but is not yet operational — CWB publishes no first-party public developer portal and no documented public API. Its developer and API hostnames do not resolve, and the entire cwbank.com domain now 301-redirects to National Bank of Canada (nbc.ca). Consumer-permissioned account and transaction data is reached only indirectly through third-party data aggregators (Plaid is confirmed via aggregator coverage directories). No first-party FDX-conformant data-access API was found. This is an honest identity-only, aggregator-only record for an institution now absorbed into National Bank of Canada.
Index entry only — little beyond a description and a link, and nothing machine-readable enough for an agent to act on without a human reading the site first.
API Evangelist profiles Canadian Western Bank the way a machine reads it — 1 machine-readable artifact, pulled from the provider's own public surface and indexed so a developer, an analyst, or an AI agent can evaluate it against every other provider on the network.
Every provider in the network is reduced to the same set of machine-readable artifacts — OpenAPI contracts, event specifications, GraphQL schemas, runnable collections, pricing and rate-limit signals, security posture, OAuth scopes, and the agent surfaces (MCP servers and skills) that let software drive the API on its own. We profile them because the interface is the part of a company you can actually inspect: it is a truer signal of what a provider does than any marketing page. From those artifacts we compute the Kin Score — Canadian Western Bank scores 7.7/100 (minimal), with a separate agent-readiness read of 0/100 (human only). The full breakdown is below, followed by every artifact we hold — each card links through to its machine-readable definition on apis.io.
