REPUBLICBANKLIMITED
In 1981, the Bank changed its name from Barclays Bank of Trinidad
and Tobago to Republic Bank Limited. The change of name was
a difficult exercise as the Governor of the Central Bank opined
that the Bank should identify more conspicuously with the country
and suggested the name “Bank of the Republic of Trinidad and
Tobago Limited”. This name was registered with the approval of
the Registrar at the Registrar’s office. The name was rejected at an
Extraordinary General Meeting of the Bank.
A second Extraordinary General Meeting was called to change
the name to Republic Bank Limited. This name was approved via
majority vote.
