Demerara Bank at 30: CEO restates commitment to simpler, faster, more accessible banking

Please see below statement from Mr Dowlat Parbhu to mark Demerara Bank’s 30th anniversary:

“As we prepare to celebrate Demerara Bank’s 30th anniversary on November 21, 2024, we are filled with immense pride and gratitude. This milestone is more than just a marker of time—it is a celebration of the vision, resilience, and commitment that have shaped us into the solid and respected financial institution we are today.

“From the beginning, our late founding chairman, Yesu Persaud, envisioned a bank that would stand as a pillar of strength and service, not just in profitability but in its impact on customers, communities, and the country. Today, that vision has flourished. Demerara Bank is not merely a bank; it is a trusted partner, a financial innovator, and a beacon of excellence for all we serve.

“What sets us apart is not just what we do, but how we do it. Our commitment to excellence drives every decision. Whether it’s bringing innovative solutions to market, such as contactless Visa cards and offsite lending with same-day approvals, or pioneering sustainable practices by powering our locations with solar energy, we have always sought to lead by example.

“Over the years, we’ve grown with purpose—expanding our network of branches and ATMs, introducing drive-thru services, and establishing a presence in key locations like MovieTowne and soon to Amazonia Mall. We’ve also embraced digital transformation to ensure banking is simpler, faster, and more accessible.

“Yet, what matters most to us is you. Everything we do is centered on your needs. Your trust has been the foundation of our success, and your loyalty has fueled our journey. We are deeply committed to continuously raising the bar—whether it’s through personalized customer care, innovative products, or contributing to the economic growth of our nation.

“As we look to the future, we do so with the same determination that has brought us here. We are excited to commemorate this milestone with a series of activities that celebrate our valued customers and stakeholders and the integral role they’ve played in our success.

“On behalf of everyone at Demerara Bank, thank you for being part of this incredible journey. We look forward to building an even brighter future together.”
