National Bank Financial Group Overview

Overall Ranking (97%)

The Overall Ranking is a score from 1 star (very bad) to 5 stars (excellent) generated based on the Company Reviews of current and former employees at this company, taking everything into account.

The number you see in the middle of the donut pie chart is the simple average of these scores. If you hover over the various sections of the donut, you will see the % breakdown of each score given.

The percentile score in the title is calculated across the entire Company Database and uses an adjusted score based on Bayesian Estimates (to account for companies that have few reviews). Simply put, as a company gets more reviews, the confidence of a "true score" increases so it is pulled closer to its simple average and away from the average of the entire dataset.

Company Details

National Bank Financial is among the top investment dealers in Canada, and the undisputed leader in Quebec, with annual revenues in excess of $2.0 billion. NBF is a truly integrated firm, combining institutional brokerage, investment banking, corporate finance and securities clearing services with retail advisory and brokerage services. The Firm has a substantial presence in all regions of Canada as well as operations in the United States and Europe.

Continuing a tradition that goes back to 1902, National Bank Financial has made client service and the development of long-term client relationships the cornerstone of its operating philosophy. The firm goes out of its way to fully understand the needs of its corporate, institutional and retail clients, and to respond with creative solutions and value-added services.

National Bank Financial has 3,060 employees, largely working in offices located in all major Canadian urban centers. Although its capital base of $875 million makes NBF very strong on a stand-alone basis, it draws additional solidity from being an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the National Bank of Canada, which has a market capitalization of $10 billion.
