Originally called Colonial Bank, we were born in 1837 as the first commercial bank in Trinidad and Tobago.
Our 181-year history is testimony to a successful growth strategy fuelled by expansion through acquisition. Additionally, prudent risk management principles, comprehensive and innovative corporate social investment programmes and initiatives, and visionary leadership paired with multitalented and loyal employees have been significant contributors.
Through the years, we continuously evolved to match the demands of growing economies and the rapid social changes in the markets where we currently operate. Significant expansion during this period, through the acquisition of several subsidiaries, resulted in Republic Bank performing dual roles of a licensed commercial bank and a holding company for its subsidiaries. While the roles were well managed, the Group needed a more sustainable structure to facilitate even more effective management, and good governance gave our current and future strategies.
In December 2015, we decided to form Republic Financial Holdings Limited by a Vesting Order, under the Financial Institutions Act, Chap 79:09, of the Laws of Trinidad and Tobago. This decision brought the structure of the Republic Group in line with international best practices to facilitate future growth successfully.

We, Republic Bank, the Caribbean financial institution of choice for our staff, customers and shareholders, set the standard of excellence in customer satisfaction, employee engagement, social responsibility and shareholder value while building successful societies.
