These people plead poverty, riding buses and LRT for free. It's the same as the aggressive panhandlers.

The TD facade project from a slightly different angle.

Bank branches are becoming less and less relevant.

until, of course, you actually need one. who needs one you say? how about every law office, most accounting firms, and virtually every retailer.

And anyone in corporate finance, investment banking...

So I wonder if there will be any new entrance added. It would be nice if there were something near the corner of the building.

^Given the disorder, my guess is not. But that would be fantastic and help engage the street/LRT.

I think that another entrance around Shoppers Drug Mart (on 102 Avenue) could work.

Corporate finance, investment banking and anything further corporate (risk management, equity research, etc.) have absolutely nothing to do with branches at all. Anything of the sorts are all located in the office tower locations....in Calgary.

I beg to differ, being in the industry and all.
Most larger branches also have corporate presence, especially in major cities, considering that having zero presence in those places is usually very detrimental to maintaining relationships with potential clients and other parties of interest. But hey, it might be just the banks I've worked with.

Not to derail the thread but I work in investment and corporate banking as a corporate investment banker with one of the big 6 Canadian banks. I can 100% assure you that not a single big 6 Canadian bank has an investment banking or corporate banking office or personnel in Edmonton (all are located in Toronto, Montreal, and Calgary and some have a small presence in Vancouver due to the mining industry), and I can 100% assure you that none of us operate out of a branch in any city. ATB has 1 corporate investment banker in Edmonton but all other investment banking operations are located in Calgary...otherwise I would love to move back to Edmonton and take that job!

Now, if you mean commercial banking, which is entirely different and works with smaller to mid size businesses then yes there are. But there is a large difference between the clients served at an investment/corporate banking level and a commercial banking level, which do have branch presences.
