It's interesting that the Scotiabank has been around since 1832, and then moved to Toronto in 1900.
Yahoo - Scotia Bank history

The Bank of Nova Scotia (aka Scotiabank) isn't based in Nova Scotia. Although founded in that province in 1832, it moved to Toronto in 1900. Now Canada's third-largest bank (behind Royal Bank of Canada and The Toronto-Dominion Bank), Scotiabank provides retail, corporate, and investment banking services worldwide. In addition to more than 950 domestic branches, Scotiabank has some 775 offices in about 45 other countries. Services include deposit accounts and lending, brokerage, and trust services. The bank also offers asset management (including mutual funds) and, through its Scotia Capital division, such services as underwriting, corporate debt, and mergers and acquisitions advising.
