ATB Financial, Alberta’s largest financial institution, said Friday its third-quarter profit rose more than 8% on strong performances at its three business lines.

Net income reached $50.7 million for the period ending Dec. 31, compared with $46.7 million in the same quarter last year, the Crown corporation said.

“Our plan to significantly increase our capabilities in Investor Services and Energy and Commercial Banking is delivering the expected boost to our growth,” said chief executive Bob Normand, in a release.

“Our focus on personal service is also translating very nicely into stronger relationships with customers.”

ATB’s equity stood at $1.1 billion at the end of quarter, up 21.65% from the same period last year.

Total assets were $15.2 billion, up about 8%, and net interest income was $103.8 million, up 3.29%.
