FirstCaribbean Wins Best Bank Award For The Fifth
Consecutive Year
Date Posted: April 23, 2008.
Bridgetown,
Barbados, – FirstCaribbean International Bank
continues to be picked out by external commentators as
“First”. The Bank won the award for “Best Bank in Barbados”
for 2008 from Global Finance Magazine. This marks the fifth
consecutive year that Barbados has scooped the award.
Global Finance editors, in conjunction with industry
analysts, corporate executives and banking consultants,
selected the best emerging market banks across the globe.
Criteria for choosing the winners included growth in assets,
profitability, strategic relationships, customer service,
competitive pricing, and innovative products.
“Emerging markets are attracting increased attention as the
global economy expands. We have identified the banks that
provide service to corporations seeking to take advantage of
substantial opportunities for growth in a sometimes
challenging environment,” observed publisher and president
of Global Finance Joseph D. Giarraputo.
Managing Director, Barbados, Oliver Jordan, in expressing
his elation, noted that the award is indeed significant
cause for celebration. “This award is excellent testimony to
the cadre of talent that resides in our Bank. Over the past
few years our efforts at re-engineering and re-energising
the Barbados business have been steadfast and our strategic
vision and the dedication of our staff during this
transformation process has reaped tremendous dividends. I am
proud of their efforts and this makes this five-time award
extra special.”
His comments have been endorsed by Chief Executive Officer,
Charles Pink who observed that despite the global economic
climate, FirstCaribbean continues to weather the storm and
maintain its reputation as trendsetter. “The award is
pleasing independent affirmation that we are what we aim to
be: First – the best Financial services organisation in the
Caribbean. At our recently concluded ceremony for our Player
of the Series winners for 2007, I took the opportunity, as I
again do now, to thank all of our staff for helping us to
achieve fantastic results. That we continue to do well
notwithstanding a tough external environment is tribute to
our staff: when the going gets tough the tough get going!
Congratulations to the Barbados operating company for a job
well done!”
The results of the survey will be published in next month’s
issue of Global Finance Magazine.
