It's good for the consumer to have companies competing for customers. Compete Cable Bahamas! You have a head start operating in the Bahamas. Lower prices, improve service, reliability, etc..
Might as well give every tourist a mandatory gun to carry for the duration of their visit. If we're going to put it on tourists to carry a camera give them something to defend against an attack.
It's the government's responsibility to create a safe society. But by these statements, it's every man for themselves. Until it starts hurting our leader's pockets.
Agreed. Focus on the individual average Bahamain experience. You can survey 100 random Bahamians and they will tell you how bad the banking experience is for them. Who are the banks and regulators concerned about? Average Bahamians with a couple thousand in their account? I don't think so, but that is who is getting impacted
Lol, This is a common business tactic. Make it an individual's responsibility because, really the average individual has no impact. So they just diffuse the situation with this rhetoric instead of the business taking on responsibility. And wasn't Gowon Bowe just involved in articles about how difficult it is to open bank accounts in the Bahamas? So you think Bahamians have time to switch banks when it takes 2 months just to get an appointment
My experience was worse, the appointment was 4 months away. It's a disgrace. Imagine being on a family island when many islands don't have any bank branches anymore. You have to fly to Nassau 2-3 times before you can get a bank account. In the 90s I remember the banks used to promote people getting accounts with them. They had special accounts for kids to open savings accounts (no fees and no minimum balance). Now look at where were are 25-35 years later. Businesses and people on the family island have to rely on their mattresses, webshops, mailboat and aircraft crews to store and send money.
