… to consolidate operations into the Parika Branch

SCOTIABANK said it will be closing its Bartica branch and consolidate the business into the Parika, East Bank Essequibo operations.
In a release, the bank said that, after a review of “our Branch and Service Delivery network, we are consolidating the Bartica Branch into the Parika Branch. The Bartica Branch will close on November 27, 2020. The decision, the bank said was made after careful consideration of several factors including the ever changing customer landscape and how “and where we can best serve our customers.”

According to the bank, the consolidation will result in the transfer of all customer accounts at the Bartica Branch to the Parika location, effective November 27, 2020. Customers will be contacted with details on their accounts. Should customers not wish for their accounts to be transferred to Parika, they are asked to contact us on 223 4357 (HELP) to discuss alternative options.

Scotiabank said, in addition to its four remaining branch locations, it has made significant investments in digital banking and is pleased to offer customers robust alternate banking platforms such as Scotia OnLine and Mobile Banking, ATMs, and TeleScotia. “These help customers bank safely and securely, 24/7 eliminating the need to visit the branch. We do anticipate, as with any change, there will be questions.
