Empress ATB Agency closing on Jan. 29, 2025

The Empress ATB Agency, operated out of the Village Office, will be permanently closing on January 29, 2025 at noon. This is not a decision that was made lightly by either ATB or the Village. The ATB will maintain normal operating hours until the closure. Accounts with ATB will remain open and there is nothing that clients must do regarding this transition. ATB will be reaching out to those affected with more information. Branches in Acadia Valley and Oyen remain open to support ATB Clients, as well as online banking options.

The Village of Empress Administration Office and ATB Bank will be closed from December 24 until December 26 for Christmas Break and will reopen on December 27, 2024.
