Jamaica

With good growth and ROE, Scotiabank has seen off the competition in the Jamaican banking market.

On the technology front, Scotiabank re-engineered its service delivery capacity and its sales capability with an International Banking Platform. This will significantly contribute to the transformation of all branches into sales and service centres.

“This award recognises Scotiabank’s history of commitment, achievement, performance and growth in Jamaica, since 1889,” says William E. Clarke, president and CEO. “It also recognises the dedication and loyalty of our 1800 members of staff, who have made Scotiabank the institution of choice in the Jamaican financial sector. Over the past 116 years, Scotiabank has become an integral part of the Jamaican financial sector, with an established reputation of strength, integrity, stability, innovation and continuous commitment to growth and community development.

“Scotiabank boasts 42 branches island-wide and the largest ATM network in the island. The Scotiabank Jamaica Group of companies leads the financial services sector, providing professional and personalised banking and financial solutions to over one million customers.

“As we did in 2004, Scotiabank is on target to record another successful year of operations for 2005. Our record results remain grounded in our core strengths, and focused on sound fundamentals – solid execution of our plans, careful management of risks and expenses, and a total commitment to customer satisfaction.”
