BANK OF
NOVA SCOTIA -
The Bank of Nova Scotia Kingston Jamaica was established in
Jamaica in 1889, and has enjoyed a history of changes and
transformations from colonialism to independence. What began
with a small banking office in Kingston Jamaica is today, a
sophisticated island wide network of 42 branches. With a staff
of over 1800, Scotia bank Kingston Jamaica provides
state-of-the-art retail and commercial banking services to the
Jamaican public. Through it all, Scotia bank Kingston Jamaica
has established its reputation as a strong, stable, and
reliable participant in Jamaica's continuing growth and
development. Our commitment to customers —"Scotia bank Kingston
Jamaica …you're safe with us."— is more than just an
advertising slogan; it is backed by the experience and
stability accompanying a century of continuous and progressive
banking operations in Kingston Jamaica.
When Bank of Nova Scotia Kingston Jamaica first planted its
roots in Jamaica in 1889, banking on the island was about 50
years old. In those 50-odd years, a number of other banks had
come and gone. Until the abolition of slavery on August 1,
1834, there had been little need for banks in Kingston
Jamaica. The merchants soon began to see the advantage of
having a local bank where bills of exchange could be converted
to drafts in sterling, which would be more readily accepted by
their creditors abroad. A barter trade had long existed
between the province of Nova Scotia in Canada and Jamaica. As
trade expanded in Kingston Jamaica during the middle of the
19th century, the limitations of the bartering system became
increasingly apparent. The establishment of a branch of The
Bank of Nova Scotia in Kingston, Jamaica therefore provided
the best means of placing the trade on a monetary basis, and
so The Bank of Nova Scotia Kingston Jamaica was born. The
Kingston Jamaica bank has survived the great earthquake which
shattered Kingston Jamaica in January 1907. In the 1930's
there had been social, political, and economic changes with
the advent of Marcus ah Garvey, and the establishment of
the two-party political system as successive constitutional
changes brought adult suffrage, self-government and in 1962,
Jamaica's full independence as a member of the British
Commonwealth of Nations
