    For almost 3 years now I trying to get a bank to discharge a charge from my properties amounting to close to $400,000.00 which I have already paid up since early 2014 and up to this date the charges remain on my properties. They like to collect their big interest and hold on to people's property for as long as they want to, but I am going to put a lawyer on them this same 2017

    This is one of the worse banks in the BVI. Poor customer service among other things. This is craziness.

      The old tellers were way better, they worked faster and provided great customer service, the ones that are there now have way too much attitude for me and need learn manners.

    Scotia Bank makes money by feeing its customers to death. There is a record keeping fee, there is an activity fee,: imagine having to pay them to deposit your money on their bank, there is an inactivity fee.All these fees are many times the miniscule interest that they pay. So they are actually not paying any interest but fleesing there customers. They are taking advantage of the lack of banking regulations in the Virgin Islands. So they are the "Bank of the Year", but their customers are paying the price. For the average customer their current balance in lower than their initial deposits.
