Scotia to close two branches

Mar 16, 2015

BANK of Nova Scotia Jamaica says it will be closing two of its branches -- Lucea and Premier branches -- effective May 22 and July 24, 2015, respectively.

A news release from the bank last week said, "Like any organisation, Scotiabank continuously reviews its operations on a local and global scale to ensure we meet the needs of our customers while maximising operational efficiencies."

The release added that Scotiabank is now focused on ensuring that customers are informed of these changes and will be guiding them through this process.

"We are also committed to supporting our employees through this transition while staying true to our principles of treating employees fairly, equitably and with respect.

"Scotiabank continues to see Jamaica and the Caribbean region as an important part of our international footprint, and remain committed to Jamaica and the local community. We have a long history in Jamaica - 125 years - and we remain the pre-eminent bank in the Caribbean," it said.
