In partnership with The University of The West Indies, UWI, RBC sponsored $20,000 in support of Research Day2017. “On behalf of the leaders and employees at RBC Royal Bank, we congratulate the coordinators of the 11th annual Research Day of The University of the West Indies Bahamas, (School of Clinical Medicine and Research). The theme, Weight Challenges in The Bahamas- Are we the Biggest Losers? is an important and relevant one. We commend you for this focus as a nation can only be as healthy as its citizens. I hope that we can begin to see a decline in obesity and non-communicable diseases through your research and also through healthier eating and lifestyle. This is a powerful theme that resonates with households, and businesses alike,” Lasonya Missick, RBC Area Vice President, said at the opening ceremony. Mrs. Missick further noted, “We are confident that this partnership between RBC and UWI will continue to make a significant contribution to this country's education and medical industry. UWI has a philosophy of engaging with the communities and regions in which it operates to ensure that its research, teaching and consulting activities are relevant to the development objectives of the host country. RBC is fully in synch with this philosophy,” added.
RBC was the inaugural sponsor of the very first Research Day, and continues to partner with UWI annually. “We are proud of RBC’s 109 year legacy in The Bahamas, and remain committed to helping our clients thrive and investing to ensure that our communities prosper. Change is occurring in every industry in our world, and RBC is evolving with this change through digital banking. Our clients’ needs and goals are evolving; the pace at which they are operating is increasing, yet we are committed to finding new and innovative ways for you to bank with us; offering products and services that cater to your needs and allow you to bank with us anywhere and at anytime, said Kevin Darling, Head, RBC Business Banking, at the RBC Lunch N’Learn segment of UWI’s Research Day. RBC’s mobile banking app, recently launched, allows clients to conduct transactions without joining a single bank line. “We know that to keep pace with you, we have to be flexible and forward-thinking in our approach and the work we are doing today will set the foundation for generations to come as technology continues to advance. We believe that time, convenience and simple solutions are what you value most. Our online and digital client base grows each month with transactions that take them out of the bank hall and onto their smartphones, laptops and tablets. Our mobile banking app reports over 23,000 active users, which speaks volumes to the effectiveness of this innovative solution we have brought to the market,” concluded Mr. Darling.
