Best Answer

You can't "own" a bank in Canada. However, you can purchase stock in any of the 20 domestic banks in Canada.

The Bank Act, passed during the Great Depression in the 1930's, states no single person can have more than 10% of the voting stock, making it impossible for a single person to own a bank.
