In an announcement made by Chief Executive Officer Mark St Hill on Tuesday morning, the rebranding process is slated to be completed during the upcoming financial year.
St Hill emphasized that the decision to adopt the CIBC brand underscores the bank’s strong confidence in its parent company and reinforces its unwavering commitment to the Caribbean region. He pointed out that CIBC FirstCaribbean has always enjoyed the distinct advantage of being associated with a globally respected and recognized brand. Now, by carrying the CIBC name, the bank is poised to benefit even more as it continues its journey of expansion and growth in the Caribbean.

In tandem with this announcement, the bank disclosed its final divestments in the region. An application has been submitted to the Central Bank of Curaçao and St Maarten for the sale of its businesses in these areas to Curaçao-based Orco Bank N.V. These transactions mark the conclusion of the bank’s comprehensive program of divestitures, which commenced in 2021 with the sale of assets in Aruba and select Eastern Caribbean territories.
“We are transitioning towards the expansion of our company. We have successfully forged a formidable entity from the legacies of our predecessors, and we are resolutely focused on a promising future for our organization,” St Hill concluded.
