What Our Members Offer
The following elements comprise the offerings of the banking sector in Bermuda:
Deposits, Funds Access, and Transfers
Bermuda’s banks provide a full suite of deposit products from demand accounts to savings accounts, time deposits, and cash management products. All Bermuda banks offer wire transfers and debit cards to facilitate customer movement of and access to their funds. There is also a local automated clearing house (ACH) to expeditiously post Bermuda dollar transactions between local banks.
Loans
Bermuda’s banks provide a full range of retail loans to include residential mortgages, credit cards, personal loans, and commercial loans. Loans are granted solely on the borrower’s creditworthiness, ability to repay, and the value of any related collateral.
Asset Management, Private Wealth, and Trust
Bermuda has long been known as a jurisdiction that provides expert asset management, private wealth management, and trust services.
