Hon Fahie closer to securing new bank for Virgin Gorda
The Opposition Leader, in a social media post today, August 31, 2018, disclosed that, “in an effort to have this matter adequately addressed, I have spoken to most of the relevant stakeholders, such as the management of select banks operating in the BVI (British Virgin Islands) as well as to the President of the Banking Association.”
On Bank Interested
According to Hon Fahie, “from those meetings, it was clear that only one bank seemed willing to fill the void created in Virgin Gorda…I remain prayerful and hopeful that in the not too distant future that this financial institution—which I will not name at this time—will make this a reality.”
He said, “in the meantime, I will continue to press for the physical presence of banking services on Virgin Gorda as well as improved banking service on all our Sister Islands.”
Virgin Gorda is now without banking services for the first time in six decades and Hon Fahie has since pledged to, “remain relentless on this issue, as well as others, so that the quality of life on our Sister Islands and Tortola can remarkably be improved.”
Unacceptable
The Opposition Leader used the occasion to thank Scotia Bank, for the services it provided while physically operating on Virgin Gorda.
According to the Opposition Leader, the loss of Scotia Bank’s presence on the island, “is a most unfortunate event, as it will only further slow down the recovery of Virgin Gorda post hurricane Irma and, thereby, increasing the difficulties that the people of Virgin Gorda have to endure.”
Having to travel to Tortola to conduct banking business and pay bills, is totally unacceptable at this time, he said.
