CIBC FirstCaribbean Managing Director of Retail and Business Banking, Mark St. Hill, recently embarked on a cross-country branch tour throughout The Bahamas.

During his visit he attended the ribbon-cutting ceremony for the official opening of CIBC FirstCaribbean’s Baha Mar branch – their newest branch which provides exclusive services for over 5,000 Baha Mar employees.

St Hill talked about the bank’s goal to build the strength of their regional brand through client relationships.

“The pillars on which we do things are simplification and convenience.

We’re extremely pleased to partner not only with what we see as a wonderful investment, but clearly one of the largest investments this country has seen in quite a while,” Mr. St. Hill said.

“Our strategy is to be the leader in client relationships and hence build a stronger brand.

We’re extremely proud of this endeavor and see this as a model we hope to expand across the region.”

During his trip he also visited the Shirley Street, Carmichael, Palmdale, Harbour Bay, and Bay Street branch teams in New Providence, before flying out to Grand Bahama to connect with the Freeport sales teams.
