Today Marks the Inauguration of Laurentian Bank’s 44 New Automatic Banking Machines in the Montréal Métro
Montréal, October 1, 2009 – Laurentian Bank will be inaugurating its network of automatic banking machines (ABMs) today across most of Montréal’s Métro stations after having obtained the exclusive right to operate the machines throughout the Société de transport de Montréal (STM) subways last June. With a total of 70 machines to be available, this is good news for Métro users, who will be able to take advantage of efficient and fully integrated banking services virtually wherever and whenever they happen to be travelling.
In initiating these new units, Laurentian Bank is confirming its dominant position among banking institutions in Montréal and throughout Québec thanks to its extensive network of branches and automatic banking machines. “As a result of the Bank’s financial solidity since its repositioning a number of years ago, the institution has the wind in its sails and is continuing to grow despite the difficult economic context confronting the banking sector,” underlines Luc Bernard, Executive Vice-President, Personal and SME Financial Services. “Winning this call for tenders demonstrates the confidence the Bank has earned, of which we are extremely proud. For us, the installation of these ABMs in the Métro constitutes an important step in our development and clearly supports the value of our commitment to being close to our clients. Indeed, Laurentian Bank is firmly rooted in Québec, particularly in Montréal — the city in which it was born and to which it owes a major part of its sustained growth and success.”
For his part, STM Chairman, Mr. Michel Labrecque, emphasized that “Laurentian Bank’s ABMs offer Métro users a diverse range of services, while allowing our organization to increase its commercial revenues. Access to banking services within Montréal’s Métro network represents a significant asset to those with busy schedules who are looking for ways to save time.”
In order to spread the word in an interesting and innovative fashion, the Bank will be inaugurating its 44 new automatic banking machines during rush hour at several different Montréal Métro stations using a theatrical approach.
