Sounds like the balance sheet might need a capital infusion?
Does this mean they are just “G” and not “Capital G” ?
lol, I think they welcomed too many people to the family who couldn’t pay their loans.
They need it.
Seems that Capital G has been sliding downhill fast after taking over FBS, maybe they bit off more than they could chew, it’ll be interesting to see the partner that wants a load of defaulted mortgages and property
And everyone thought BNTB would be the next one to follow Bank of Bermuda/HSBC and be bought up by CIBC. Looks like Capital G beat them to the punch. BNTB was just named Bank of the Year so they must be in better shape.
Capital G is a great bank,and will even get greater, if bought.
My understanding is that HSBC have been in talks to with them to take over. Watch this space!
HSBC can’t keep their present customers happy, so hope they don’t take on Capital G.
I hope not. I was just about to move my business from HSBC and was looking at CapG. I will have to wait now.
Butterfield Bank, be prepared to have an influx of new customers.
I would have thought HSBC are looking for a way out of Bermuda retail banking now that all the juiciest bits of Bank of
Bermuda are fully absorbed into their empire. If some entity, even HSBC itself, made a strategic investment in Capital G, HSBC’s Bermuda retail headache could merge with Capital G and really give a resurgent BNTB a run for their money. If this guess is correct, I would hope the BMA says no in the interests of keeping the market from being just two players again.
