This BMO branch in Waterloo, Ontario retains the Molsons Bank name on the plinth.
The Molson Bank (sometimes labeled Molsons Bank) was a Canadian bank founded in Montreal, Quebec by brothers William (1793-1875) and John Molson, Jr. (1787-1860), the sons of brewery magnate, John Molson.
In 1850, it was constituted under the "Free Banking Act" passed by the Canadian Parliament. To increase its powers and its revenue, the bank was incorporated in 1855 and granted a charter allowing it to operate its bank in the same way as other banks. With its Head Office at the corner of St. Jacques & St. Pierre Streets, it continued to be in operation until 1925 when it was absorbed by the Bank of Montreal.
He was chairman of the investment banking division of UBS from 1999 to 2000 and subsequently became chief executive officer of the investment bank Houlihan Lokey Howard and Zukin from 2002 to 2003.
Molson was a director of Molson from 1974 to 2005 and served as chairman of the board of Molson from 1988 to 2005.
Molson is the vice president of the Molson Foundation and a director of the McCord Museum, the Montréal Fluency Centre and the Ste-Justine Hospital Foundation.
