The National Commercial Bank of Anguilla (NCBA) has launched a 100 day countdown to its 10th anniversary on 25 April this year.
Over the next 100 days, the bank will undertake a series of – yet to be detailed – initiatives to commemorate the milestone, which it calls ‘Road to 10’.
Interim chief executive officer Jerrick Evangelista said the activities will highlight the NCBA’s impact, strengthen key relationships, and create new opportunities to engage with the bank.

“They will also include the acceleration of our automation and digitalisation agenda, aimed at streamlining processes, improving turnaround times, and delivering consistent, secure and seamless banking experiences,” she added.
“This period will serve not only as a celebration, but also as a reaffirmation of our identity and a reminder that you are ‘Banking Where You Belong’.”
Evangelista said that when NCBA began operating on 25 April, 2016, confidence in both the global and local financial system was fragile, and the effects were felt across the currency union.
“The bank itself began at a moment of vulnerability, shaped by the need to restore trust and stability, she said in a press release on 15 January.
“Through careful regulation, prudent governance and close oversight, a solid foundation was deliberately put in place.
“A collective effort, which laid a sound foundation for NCBA to operate as a well-governed indigenous bank.”
Evangelista said NCBA has persevered demonstrating resilience, maintaining discipline and steadily building confidence – with its growth driven by people.
She thanked customers for placing their trust in the bank along with staff for carrying its mission forward, its leaders for guiding the institution through its development and its shareholders for their vision.
“To the Anguillan community: your unwavering trust and partnership have enabled us to grow into a cornerstone of the financial sector and a dedicated corporate citizen,” she added
“We are profoundly grateful for the opportunity to contribute to our island’s prosperity and well-being. This milestone belongs to all of us.”
The National Commercial Bank of Anguilla (NCBA) was established in 2015 as part of the restructuring of Anguilla’s banking sector following the resolution of the island’s former indigenous banks.
It operates as a locally owned commercial bank offering retail and commercial banking services and plays a central role in the island’s financial system.
