Global Finance publisher and editorial director Joseph Giarraputo said, “In this ever-changing environment, the Best Bank Awards recognise the financial institutions that offer the broadest range of services, long-term reliability, and technological innovation.”
The release stated, "The highlights of Scotiabank’s recognition were based on strong financial performance, outperforming the market in key ratios such as return on assets, return on equity, and operational efficiency recorded at 2.04, 14.95 and 44.7 per cent respectively.
"Scotiabank was also progressive in digital transformation, with 72 per cent of clients enrolled in digital platforms and a 54 per cent digital adoption rate."

"Lastly, Scotiabank’s environmental, social, governance agenda, making an impact through sustainable investments and strong employee volunteerism in the communities in Trinidad and Tobago."
