Citizens Bank on Monday opened a branch at Charity on the Essequibo Coast, providing much needed services to the business community and residents there, the North West District and Pomeroon.
Citizens Bank Chairman Clifford Reis said the bank is pleased to introduce its services at Charity as the community is home to primarily gold miners and agro-processors/farmers.
He said the bank saw the struggles miners, farmers and residents endure to access the bank located at Anna Regina and felt compelled to respond to their need.
“Citizens Bank is different, we bring the service to the people, all other banks on the coast are located is Anna Regina, we saw the burden residents from Charity faced.”
He said too that the bank will be providing loans to promote small business development.
“We are aiming to provide businesses with small loans so they can establish themselves, as well as create jobs for others,” he said.
President Donald Ramotar said the expansion of services in the banking sector is testimony to the growth and development of Guyana, and lauded the investment by Citizens Bank.
