The National Bank of Anguilla Ltd is the 2006 recipient of Good Corporate Citizen Awards in Sports Development, Financial Literacy and Awareness and Preservation of the Environment.

The awards were conferred on NBA by the Eastern Caribbean Central Bank (ECCB) on November 13 at its headquarters in St. Kitts at the opening ceremony for the sub-regional body’s 17th Annual Conference with Commercial Banks in the eight-member territories.

Chief Executive Officer of NBA, E. Vatentine Banks, was present to accept the awards.

Commenting on the awards, Mr. Banks said: “NBA has over the years stressed its commitment to the development of Anguilla. Development, as we as a local bank see it, involves not only Anguillian centric financial inter-mediation, but significant participation and financial intervention in social matters in support of activities which we know will ultimately benefit this island.”
The National Bank of Anguilla has won many Good Corporate Citizen Awards over the years and notably was the winner of the overall Best Corporate Citizens Award in 1998 and 2005.

Good Corporate Citizen Awards are presented by the ECCB to recognise those commercial banks “which, while conducting their day to day business, take time to reach out in various ways to members of the communities in which they operate and from which they draw their strength.”

To be eligible for the Good Corporate Citizen Award and Best Corporate Citizen Award overall, banks must have programmes or initiatives that demonstrate sincerity, corporate social responsibility and have a positive impact on the community or country.

The ECCB Agency Offices in the various islands regularly distribute survey forms to the public for responses and analyses data submitted by individual banks in order to arrive at the banks for the recognition awards. The public survey data accounts for 50% of the final score for each bank and the other 50% is based on information submitted by the banks outlining their achievements.
