Winning Streak – CIBC FirstCaribbean has won the honor of “Bank of the Year” (Bahamas) eight times in the past 12 years, and three years running. Managing Director (Bahamas & TCI) Marie Rodland-Allen credits employees for the bank’s continual success.

Nassau, Bahamas - CIBC FirstCaribbean is The Bahamas’ “Bank of the Year 2018” for the third straight year.

The honour was bestowed by internationally-acclaimed financial magazine “The Banker” during its 19th annual Bracken “Bank of the Year” Awards held in London on November 29. Managing Director (Bahamas & TCI) Marie Rodland-Allen accepted the award on behalf of the bank for the third consecutive year.

Hailed as the Oscars of the banking industry, the “Bank of the Year” Awards recognizes the best in banking globally, judging over 1,000 applications from 120 countries. Winning banks are selected based on “performance, innovation, adding customer value, and leadership in society.”

Mrs. Rodland-Allen touted CIBC FirstCaribbean employees as the backbone of the bank’s success.

“Proud is an understatement. Here at CIBC FirstCaribbean we cannot overlook the role our employees play in our success. In each of the branches and units I see camaraderie; I see commitment; I see staff putting their best foot forward every day to provide excellent customer service, and I can confidently say that it’s our commitment to clients as well as each other that gives way to our continual flourishing. We’re thankful to the Banker for recognizing our success, but we’re more thankful to our employees who make that success possible year after year.”
