Commonwealth Bank Ltd. Bahamas
It is our sincere pleasure to share with you Commonwealth Bank’s history that underscores our five decades of unparalleled growth, financial accomplishments and tradition of service excellence, beginning with those very first modest steps on Wednesday, April 20th, 1960. Conceived as a small consumer finance company by the late Sir Roland Symonette, The Bahamas’ first premier and his partner Peter Paul Saunders, former head of the Canadian Laurentide Financial Corporation, Commonwealth Industrial Bank began as a single desk operation with three employees. Bahamian Earle Sands was recruited as the first head of this new enterprise along with Lionel Albury and Juanita Grant. The Bank’s initial clients represented the accounts receivable, acquired from the Home Furniture Company. This new venture, which continued to operate as a subsidiary of Canadian-based Laurentide Financial Corporation Limited, quickly filled a financing void created by the big multinational banks; by making available an alternative avenue for the average Bahamian wage earner to have access to financing for furniture, home improvement, travel and other consumer needs. Although the Bank looks vastly different from its humble beginnings, it is our commitment to our founding values that allows us to continue to perform at a level that places us among the best and highest performing banks in the country. Not only do we measure performance in financial goals but also in our pledge to assist our communities, whether it be in the aftermath of a hurricane, lending support to our education system or helping our customers affected by the economic downturn. Thank you for choosing Commonwealth Bank as your financial partner.

For non-US residents Equity Bank Bahamas Limited provides private banking, asset management, investment fund administration, corporate services, and trust services. U.S. Residents: A ‘U.S. Person’ is defined by Regulation S (promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933) in Section 902(k)(1) defines a U.S. person as one who is permanently resident inside the United States of America. The SEC’s interpretation of U.S. federal securities laws limits Non-U.S. Broker-Dealers such as Equity Bank Bahamas Limited and its affiliates to working with those permanently resident outside the USA. Non-U.S. broker-dealers cannot approach and/ or solicit U.S. resident persons because an Internet Website is interpreted by the SEC as being the same as a telephone call to a client. Non-U.S. Broker-Dealers such as Equity Bank Bahamas Limited and its affiliates (Equitybankbahamas.com) maintaining an Internet Website can thus only accept a U.S. person if he or she has not been solicited either directly or indirectly through accessing their websites under the ‘unsolicited’ exemption Rule 15a-6. U.S. customers wanting to work with Non-U.S. Broker-Dealers such as Equity Bank Bahamas Limited and its affiliates (Equitybankbahamas.com) can thus only approach Non-U.S. Broker-Dealers under Rule 15a-6 if they have not been to their websites and should be prepared to certify this fact in writing to ensure compliance with applicable law. They should also be prepared to certify in writing that they have not been solicited by Equity Bank Bahamas Limited and its affiliates (Equitybankbahamas.com) in any manner either directly or indirectly.

Public Workers' Co-Operative Credit Union Limited
Under the presidency of Mr. Arlington Miller, the Bahamas Public Services Union (BPSU) saw the need to assist in making life better for its members. It was felt that this concept could be achieved through the establishment of a credit union. The officers of the BPSU met in 1979 and formed a Steering Committee, consisting of the following persons: Mr. Arlington Miller- Chairman; Mr. William McDonald- Vice-Chairman; Mr. George Lafleur- Trustee; Mrs. Gertrude Rahming- Treasurer; Mr. Patrick Ingraham-Secretary; Mrs. Juliette J. Barnwell-Assistant Secretary; Mr. Basil Sears-Trustee and Mr. Edward Gardiner-Trustee. The Steering Committee spent many hours with Mr. Roosevelt Finlayson, Director of Co-operatives, in formulating the bye-laws of The Credit Union. After the bye-laws were completed, an application was made to the Department of Co-operatives for registration of The Public Workers’ Co-operative Credit Union Limited, whose bond would encompass all Government employees and Government Boards and Public Corporations. The Public Workers’ Co-operative Credit Union Limited was registered on December 28th, 1979 and presented with its Registration Certificate in February 1980. At the time of its registration, forty-four persons had signed up to become members. At its first meeting in February 1980, the following persons were elected to the Management Committee: Miss Telcena Coakley, Mrs. Juilette Barnwell, Mrs. Sylvia Treco, Mrs. Octavia Johnson, Mr. Patrick Ingraham, Mr. Harold Fernander, and Mr. William McDonald. Elected to the Supervisory Committee were: Mr. Edward Gardiner, Mrs. Rosemae Thompson and Mr. Roderick Simms. At the end of December 30th, 1980, The Public Workers’ Co-operative Credit Union had shareholdings of $36,585.00. When the first Annual General Meeting met, no dividends were paid, and the surplus, in the amount of eight hundred and forty-eight dollars and thirty-five cents ($848.35), was retained for the further development of the organization.
