Reg. 8 residents to soon benefit from direct access to banking services – Pres. Ali

Residents of Region Eight (Potaro-Siparuni) will soon benefit from direct access to banking services, including Automated Teller Machines (ATMs).

This was announced by President Dr Irfaan Ali at a People’s Progressive Party/Civic (PPP/C) public meeting held in Mahdia this evening.

“You don’t have any banks or branches here. That is why we’re speaking now to the private sector, and they have promised us that in the coming weeks, [to bring] representative offices here in Mahdia.”

According to Ali, for two days per week, at least one of the commercial banks will be there to serve residents of Mahdia and surrounding communities.

He further revealed that residents can also expect ATMs set up in township.

“We’ve already heard from another provider that they’re going to put in ATMs here in Mahdia and surrounding communities so that we can bring financial services to you here.”
