Our story

We’re not like other banks. Other banks aspire to be like us.

Imagine a world where life is simple and easy, everyone is happy, and where financial freedom is the norm. Sagicor Bank will take you one step closer to this idyllic reality.

Digital first

A dynamic digital-first financial institution.

Sagicor Bank (Barbados) Limited does things differently, providing our clients unmatched commercial banking services. Our benefits and convenience are superior and, as the first truly digital bank in the Caribbean, we’re not like other banks.

Sagicor Bank has assembled a dream team of the brightest minds in the digital technology space to develop a bank for the people. We identified everything we hate about banking, and found ways to mitigate those challenges.

How we got here

Four moves that made the bank.

  1. The idea

    Start with what people hate

    We listed every frustration with traditional banking — the queues, the paperwork, the fees that appear from nowhere — and treated each one as a problem to engineer away.

  2. The build

    A bank designed around a phone

    Not a branch network with an app bolted on. Account opening, card issuance, loan applications and repayments were built digital-first from day one.

  3. The network

    Smart ABMs across the island

    Ten machines that take deposits, dispense cash, print statements and run cardless transactions — so digital never means out of reach.

  4. 2024

    Best Consumer Digital Bank in Barbados

    Recognised by Global Finance, alongside honours at the Addy Awards for the creative work behind the brand.
