Nassau, The Bahamas – Scotiabank executives discussed the bright future of the Financial Services Industry in The Bahamas with the Hon. Ryan Pinder, Minister of Financial Services, over lunch at Café Matisse recently.

The discussion was led by Chris Hodgson, Group Head, Global Wealth & Insurance and included Sean Albert, Managing Director, Scotiabank (Bahamas) Ltd. among other senior bank officials.

According to Derek Pattison, Scotiabank’s Head of Wealth Management in The Bahamas “Our senior executive visit allowed us to showcase the amazing opportunities to grow our wealth businesses in The Bahamas and the client-friendly regulatory framework that supports this potential. With Scotiabank’s significant banking and wealth management businesses in the Caribbean, Latin America and Canada, Scotiatrust Bahamas and the Scotia Private Client Group Nassau Centre are perfectly positioned to offer international financial solutions to Scotiabank’s ever-growing global customer-base. ”

Hodgson’s lunch with Minister Pinder was part of an intense itinerary on his visit to The Bahamas. He also met with teams at Scotiatrust and Scotia Private Client Group during the one-day trip. Scotiabank remains committed to The Bahamas’ wealth management division, one of the key areas driving the bank’s growth.
