ROAD TOWN, Tortola, VI - Scotiabank BVI has for the third year in a row won the prestigious Bank of the Year –British Virgin Islands award, a recognition which comes from The Banker Magazine which is published by the London-based Financial Times.

Making the announcement at a black-tie reception in London in December 2015, the publication also named Scotiabank Bank of the Year in Grenada, Belize and the Bahamas. Scotiabank Caribbean East Managing Director David Noel collected the Bracken Awards on behalf of the Bank.

According to a press release, The Banker selects winners based on their ability to gain strategic advantage and deliver shareholder returns.

• Global Finance Magazine’s ‘Best Emerging Markets Bank’ in Barbados for 2015

• Best Digital Bank in 21 countries across the Caribbean including Barbados by Global Finance along with regional recognitions in North America, Latin America and the Caribbean;

• For the second year in a row, Scotiabank was also named one of the World’s Best Multinational Workplaces by the Great Place to Work® Institute.

Managing Director of Scotiabank BVI Sarah L. Hobbs told this news site, “This award means so much and is a real tribute to the hard work of our staff. I am fortunate to work with a dedicated team of talented individuals who have been committed to excellent service, looking for new ways to help our customers achieve their financial goals and still taking time to serve the community beyond the branch.”

She noted that Scotiabank has had a presence in the VI for 48 years and continues to work diligently to make banking easier and more convenient for clients while, at the same time, driving efficiency and enhancing their ‘in branch’ experience.

    Their sale representatives always calling harassing you about preapproved loans and credit card. They just don't give up. I must say they are pleasant and know how to make their product sound good. Just not interested.

    I agree the tellers are really nice and friendly in Scotia once you reach them but management need to monitor the queues. Too often the line is just too long with empty desks and then more go on breaks or someone comes around to collect money from them making them close their desk, improve this and you will be even better.

    so what's this with someone being in the bank last week to see about a mistaken charge to their card, and then
    the manager wants to have proof of their income after being with the bank for 10 months - to make sure the
    bank isn't involved with money laundering? why do those accurate comments keep disappearing? Its a good
    bank, but some things need to be straightened out.

    6 years ago I move my accounts to Scotia despite the objection from my family and I must say the service I receive from everyone there is excellent, from the management down to the Tellers. Now my family move their accounts to Scotia and they are very happy too. Keep up the good work Scotiabank
