We’re excited to open our doors in the British Virgin Islands and we wanted to share with you how we can work together to build communities and make your dreams a reality.
While Republic is not new to banking, we are new to BVI. This means that it will take a little while for us to understand what makes BVI unique, but we would like to assure you that we are committed to taking the time to do so. We know that the BVI is a multi-cultural, resilient nation, well on its way back to normalcy following the devastation of Hurricane Maria. You are a nation that understands the value of looking within to foster overall growth and we look forward to supporting you on that journey.
While the name above our bank has changed, upon entering your Republic Bank branch, you will be greeted by the same people and see the same familiar smiles, each day. This also means that while some product names will be changed, the processes and fee structures will remain unchanged, and services that were provided to customers in the past will continue to be available at our branch. Over time, as we understand you more, our staff will be able to offer you a broader range of innovative products and services.
They and you have the support of an organisation that believes in working side by side with each other, our customers and communities. We have been doing that for 183 years and we believe that it is our duty to build successful societies wherever we operate. To this end, we understand that Tourism, Financial Services, Youth Development and Environmental Sustainability are very important to you and we are committed to supporting those goals!
Local input, strong local knowledge and more responsive decision making are key to our success. We are confident that our dynamic local banking team will ensure excellence in Customer Satisfaction, Employee Engagement and Social Responsibility.
As we begin this journey in the BVI, we look forward to moving ahead with you and to always being there for you. We have been warmly welcomed and we want to thank you for this opportunity to serve.
Thank you.
