Effective today, Equity Financial Trust continues operations as a federally regulated Schedule 1 Bank and is changing its name to Haventree Bank. The name Haventree Bank represents a distinct new positioning in the Canadian lending market where customers can plan their financial future with confidence.

“Focus groups were conducted with our brokers, borrowers and employees. The product of that exercise has led us on a new strategic path that begins with the rebranding of our company.”

Haventree Bank continues to be a member of the Canada Deposit Insurance Corporation (“CDIC”).
