Republic Bank
Republic Bank Limited has demonstrated its ability to become one of the largest and most successful indigenous banks in the Caribbean, serving retail banking customers, corporate clients and governments throughout the region. The group remains committed to providing innovative and cutting edge financial services to all of its customer groups. With an asset base of over $4bn and more than 167 years of experience in the Caribbean banking industry, Republic Bank commands the lion’s share of Trinidad and Tobago’s lending, deposits and mortgage markets. The bank has built up a strong regional presence through subsidiaries in Barbados, the Cayman Islands, Grenada, St Lucia, Guyana and the Dominican Republic, as well as a representative office in Havana. As the successor bank of Barclays in the Caribbean, Republic Bank also has strong and established relationships with the major financial institutions of North America and Europe. The Republic Finance and Merchant Bank Limited (Fincor), is Republic’s flagship subsidiary for project financing throughout the region, through which the group has facilitated the growth and development of Caribbean infrastructure through the arrangement of finance for a number of major regional projects. “We are creating a large, indigenous Caribbean bank that empathises with the goals, dreams and aspirations of the Caribbean people,” says chairman Ronald F de C Harford.
