Bank of the People

Bank of the People

The Bank of the People was created from the defection of investors (James Lesslie, James Hervey Price, and Dr John Rolph) from Farmer's Bank in 1835. Sir Francis Hincks, head cashier at the Farmer's Bank, became cashier at the new bank. It was purchased by the Bank of Montreal in 1840.
