Zoran Fotak/Ian Truran, Co-Chief Executive Officer, commented: “Our ambition for Clarien Bank Limited is to develop a world-class financial institution with an international footprint that allows us to bring the strengths of Bermuda to a global client base.
“The emergence of a new generation of highly entrepreneurial, ultra high net worth individuals is challenging the traditional offshore banking model, with clients increasingly demanding a more sophisticated full-service offering.
“Bermuda is uniquely positioned with its sophisticated infrastructure, intellectual talent and accessibility to become the premier destination of choice for offshore banking solutions.
“We believe that the strengths of this jurisdiction, along with our unique blend of international banking experience, thorough risk controls and access to major global capital and financial markets will prove a compelling mix for clients.”

now I have no alternative….but to stuff cash in my mattress ;-(
Put more ATMs across the island so that I won’t get charged to access MY money!
I’ll miss the Captial G name and stuff.
Me too! I wish they would have told the customers that they are changing the name. No notice or anything. What happens to your checks, wires, etc. that are setup in Capital G’s name?
When Wells Fargo took over Wachovia, we got letters in the mail about the name changing etc.
I received a notice about changes in mail last week. Yours is coming I guess.
I guess “Capital G” won’t be letting any more people go.
So is the pretend-media in this country ready to call this “amalgamation” what it really is ? The Board was fired, Capital G bailed out and this is the latest proof. But of course, God forbid that the name Gibbons be associated with a business failure. This who know understand.
It was deeper than that…those in the know really know and it had to be done. If you really knew, you wouldn’t be saying that dumb **** you talking. none of that happened…
There was NO BUSINESS FAILURE!! and um in the know
Until you or others “in the know” tell the story I am entitled to interpret the quacking I am witnessing as the confirmed sound of a duck.
Who says we have to tell the story, some things are best left untold as YOU and others DO NOT NEED TO KNOW. That’s the problem with Bermudians, too much watchy watchy and false rumours goin round when u think ya “in the know.”
Just shows how stupid you really are believing fiction as truth. Dummy!
Oh ok. Maybe one of the families whose monthly mortgage payment just doubled will tell us what really happened.I keep forgetting that openness and transparency only applies to businesses run and owned by my people. shucks….
I have just one thing to say “OLIGARCHY” !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
took my own gross net and hid it under my mattress #3hunna
I can’t believe these guys! This is why business are seen to be putting profits over people. Rather than do the right thing and grandfather the mortgage subsidies of existing employees they take them away and rebrand and everyone is supposed to be happy? Sounds like a good opportunity for the new peoples movement to exercise some people power and boycott this bank!
Oh yeah and the Bermudian CEO who goes on and on about integrity…..you need to take a look in the mirror!
Outrageous!!
Well said
Gibbons family has sold those bermudian employees out…..threw them under the bus !!!!
Trimmingham sold out and now Gibbons, good business move for the families but not for the employees, that’s business !!!!!!!!!!!!!
yeah they really did that…lmao ya a real coconut. if you really knew de family you’d know there the last ppl to do something like dat!!
Back to the days when black bermudians lived in fear of their houses being snatched away from them. Well done OBA…40 theives back again !!!!!!! Craig you should be ashamed of yourself….i hope they took good care of your future !!!!!!
According to the news, they are looking into opening a real estate department!! WoW!! Is this to take in the delinquent staff mortgages and sell them to foreigners. All part of the big plan I guess!!!! This is crazy. We all need to pay attention!!!
Did anyone expect better from these people. This banks profit margin just increased in house by the stroke of a pen . The previous owners sold them like chattel and said ,’do with them as you like.’ HSBC employees with mortgages , if there is any Vaseline left on the shelf from Cap G employees you’d do well to snap it up .
Simple way to resolve the crap that has just happened, everyone take out your money from this place ASAP Simple.
Hit them where it hurts we have no need for a company like this I feel so sorry for the employees.
This company seems to have no care for Bermuda or Bermudians.
When are we going to start doing Bermuda for Bermudians.
Bermuda needs to wake up to the fact that our banks our no longer ours and the reality is these ‘investors’ have no loyality or interest in our island outside of their return on investment. Clarion taking away the mortgage benefit is the beginning of what is to come at all of our banks. Wages will not rise, moral will remain low and redundancies will continue as our investors care not about the human consequences of stratrgic planning but rather maximizing profit. Of the billions of $ in mortgages outstanding the yearly interest payments amout to a minimum $100m, funds that most likely wont be reinvested in our local economy, though it is the product of our blood sweat and tears. As a country we need to educate ourselves on the roles of a bank and what we are allowing to happen today.
Peace & Love
Get ready Bermuda the noose is about to tighten. We got three banking devils now, and who let them in?
I too,..am being subjected to Capitol G/ohh No..i used to be with FBG,…but whoops yep its Clarien now….Problem for them is they forgot to do their paperwork!
