If you currently bank at NBIC, this is a reminder to begin using your new checks this coming Monday! From Stabroek News:
The National Bank of Industry and Commerce Limited has notified its customers that the change of name to Republic Bank (Guyana) Limited will take effect on June 5, 2006.
In a circular letter the bank said it will begin the physical process, which involves changing the signs inside and outside of its branches, as well as the names of its products…
…For instance, the Advanced Savings account will become a Major League account, the Access 24 Automatic Banking Machines (ABMs) conveniently located throughout the country will become Republic Blue Machines and the Access 24 cards will eventually be changed to Republic One Cards.
Why the name change? Quite possibly to cash in on the investment savvy cachet the word “Guyana” brings to the table. The CEO of Republic Bank Guyana explains:
As a former Senate President, l find it very difficult to invest such amount of money in my country due to my position in the Government such amount of money may attracts some suspicion which may lead to my arrest, that is why I need your urgent assistance, Please indicate your interest in the area of a lucrative business viability in your country.
