ROAD TOWN, Tortola, VI - Premier and Minister of Finance, Honourable Andrew A. Fahie (R1) has announced that the banking institution, Banco Popular will be offering full banking services to the Virgin Gorda community beginning August 2019.

In a press release from the Government Information Service (GIS) dated April 3, 2019, Premier Fahie said, “Following a series of meetings with representatives from Banco Popular, your government was successful in negotiating a banking solution for the residents and visitors on the sister island.”

The banking institution is projected to begin services by August 2019 by offering full services 2-3 days a week.
