http://dbpedia.org/resource/Bank_of_Upper_Canada an entity of type: Thing
Mit Bank of Upper Canada oder Bank von Oberkanada wurden zwei kanadische Banken in der späteren Provinz Ontario bezeichnet. Die ältere unter ihnen bestand nur von 1819 bis 1821 in Kingston, die wenig jüngere von 1819 bzw. 1821 bis 1866 in Toronto.

The Bank of Upper Canada was established in 1821 under a charter granted by the legislature of Upper Canada in 1819 to a group of Kingston merchants. The charter was appropriated by the more influential Executive Councillors to the Lt. Governor, the Rev. John Strachan and William Allan, and moved to Toronto. The bank was closely associated with the group that came to be known as the Family Compact, and it formed a large part of their wealth. The association with the Family Compact and its underhanded practices made Reformers, including Mackenzie, regard the Bank of Upper Canada as a prop of the government. Complaints about the bank were a staple of Reform agitation in the 1830s because of its monopoly and aggressive legal actions against debtors.
