Who runs it

A majority shareholding passed to a regional financial services group headquartered in Saint Lucia during November 2010, while the state retained a significant link. The organisation describes its purpose as delivering diverse financial solutions that add value for shareholders, customers, employees and community. Excellent service, efficient operations and good governance underpin its approach to domestic banking.
