The Provincial Bank of Canada (French: Banque provinciale du Canada) was a Quebec-based bank in Canada that was the product of mergers between the Banque Jacques-Cartier (1861), the Banque d'économie de Québec (1848), the Banque populaire de Québec (1868), and the Unity Bank of Canada (1972).[1][2][3][4]

It merged with the Banque Canadienne Nationale to form the National Bank of Canada in 1979.[5]

The head office on Place d'Armes, which was the former building of the Banque Jacques-Cartier, designed in 1872 by Henri-Maurice Perrault. It is now the site of the Aldred Building.

A notable President of the Bank was Sir Hormidas Laporte, who previously served as Mayor of Montreal, and occupied the position from 1907 to 1934.
