Our History

First Citizens Barbados is part of the First Citizens Group Headquartered in Trinidad and Tobago.

First Citizens was registered on March 9, 1993 in Trinidad and Tobago with capital and its objective was “to acquire and take over as a going concern” the business and assets of Worker’s Bank, National Commercial Bank and Trinidad Co-operative Bank. Few people believed that the new Bank would survive. Fearing another collapse, depositors withdrew money and refused to do business with the new Bank.
