ATB Business Online Suite: Alberta’s Enterprise Solution

In the heart of Western Canada’s economic engine, ATB Financial stands as a unique institution, deeply embedded in the Alberta business landscape. Its premier digital platform, ATB Business Online, is designed to provide local entrepreneurs and large-scale enterprises with a level of agility and specialized support that goes beyond standard national banking. By blending high-tech treasury tools with an understanding of regional industries—from energy and agriculture to tech—ATB has created a localized powerhouse for financial management.

Localized Power: The ATB Digital Ecosystem

ATB Business Online is more than just a place to check balances; it is a full-spectrum operational hub. The platform is built around the philosophy that business owners should spend less time in the branch and more time in the field. To achieve this, ATB provides a suite of self-serve tools that allow for total autonomy over daily financial tasks.

Core features of the ATB Business suite include:

• Comprehensive Cash Flow Monitoring: Real-time visibility into all accounts, allowing for immediate reaction to market shifts or operational needs.
• Consolidated Reporting: Effortlessly generate and download transaction reports or e-statements to facilitate seamless audits and month-end reconciliations.
• Mobile Business App: A fully integrated mobile experience that supports biometrics, mobile cheque deposits, and instant approval of pending transactions on the go.

Moving Money with Precision

ATB Business specializes in localized and international disbursements, ensuring that payroll, vendor payments, and transfers happen without friction.

1. Electronic Funds Transfers (EFT): A secure, cost-effective way to handle payroll or pay Canadian suppliers in bulk.
2. Global ACH and Wire Transfers: Expand your reach beyond Alberta with the ability to send money to over 100 countries. Recent updates even allow for Batch Global ACH transfers for higher volume international operations.
3. Interac e-Transfer® for Business: Send and receive funds in real-time using just an email address or mobile number—ideal for immediate, one-off payments to contractors or staff.

Corporate Governance and Security

Safety is a non-negotiable pillar of the ATB experience. The platform utilizes Intelligent Authentication and mandatory Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) to shield corporate assets from unauthorized access.

One of the platform's most powerful features is its User and Role Management. The "Corporate Administrator" has the power to:

• Create Custom Roles: Assign specific permissions (e.g., view-only, transaction-creator, or approver) to different staff members.
• Approval Rules: Establish "Dual Control" logic where a transaction must be reviewed and approved by a second authorized user before it is finalized, drastically reducing the risk of internal error or fraud.
• Passkey Integration: For users on mobile, ATB supports encrypted passkeys, providing a safe, password-less login experience that leverages device-level security.

Specialized Solutions for Growth

Beyond daily banking, ATB Business Online serves as a gateway to broader treasury and investment services. This includes ATB FX Online, a dedicated platform for managing foreign exchange risk with live market rates, and Mastercard® Smart Data integration, which automatically collects and tracks employee expense spending to simplify tax season.

ATB Business is not just a bank; it is a financial partner built by Albertans, for Albertans. Through its robust Business Online platform, it provides the sophisticated digital tools required to compete globally while maintaining the personalized, community-f
