The Canadian Bankers Association (CBA) is a professional trade association representing over 60 domestic and foreign banks in Canada, including the Big Five banks. Established in 1891 and incorporated in 1900, the CBA has a long history of advocating for a stable and efficient banking system. It is headquartered in Toronto, with additional offices in Ottawa and Montreal.

The CBA serves as the collective voice of Canadian banks, engaging with government and regulators to influence banking policies. It plays a significant role in public policy development, contributing to initiatives like the Code of Conduct for the Delivery of Banking Services to Seniors and the establishment of the Financial Consumer Agency of Canada. The association also provides a forum for member banks to collaborate and shares resources to support their operations. Additionally, the CBA promotes financial literacy initiatives to help Canadians better understand banking products and services.
