Scotiabank was founded in 1832 in Halifax, Nova Scotia, where it was headquartered until relocating to Toronto in 1900.[5] Scotiabank has billed itself as "Canada's most international bank" due to its acquisitions primarily in Latin America and the Caribbean, and also in Europe and parts of Asia. Scotiabank is a member of the London Bullion Market Association and one of fifteen accredited institutions which participate in the London gold fixing.[6] From 1997 to 2019, this was conducted through its precious metals division ScotiaMocatta.[7]

Scotiabank's president and CEO Brian J. Porter[8] announced his retirement to be effective January 31, 2023, and Scott Thompson was named as his replacement.[9]
