Joseph D. Giarraputo, Publisher and Editorial Director of Global Finance commented “Global Finance’s Best Bank Awards honor financial institutions that excel in diversity of offerings, long-term stability, and technological innovation. The winners of this year’s awards are those banks that attended carefully to their customers’ needs in difficult markets and accomplished strong results while laying the foundations for future success.”

Nafeeza Gaffoor – Country Manager, Scotiabank Guyana thanked the Bank’s employees and reiterated its commitment to clients. “We are excited by this recognition as it shows that we are making progress against our strategy. The award reflects the hard work and dedication of our team and all that we are achieving together as we create value for our clients. Our strong performance and introduction of innovative digital enhancements has enabled us to lead the local market. We remain focused on deepening client relationships, leading with advice and following with solutions, as we build high quality experiences.”

This award follows the Bank of the Year 2024 title earned by Scotiabank Guyana just a few months ago, in December 2024. The Bank is focused on making it easier for clients to do business with Scotiabank. In keeping with this, highlights of the Bank’s recent accolades include the redesigned and enhanced way for clients to bank 24/7 from their mobile phones, via the Scotia Caribbean App; as well as the upgraded Scotia OnLine Banking platform, which now includes one-time password protection and expanded bill payment options. The Bank has also made enhancements to its merchant services, providing secure and innovative payment solutions such as the creation of a proprietary Application which integrates unmanned solutions/kiosks.
