Crown Agents Bank (CAB), the operating subsidiary of CAB Payments, has been authorised by the Bank of Guyana to establish a permanent representative office in the country.

Expected to open in the second half of the year, the new office in Georgetown will create a permanent on-the-ground presence for CAB in South America, strengthening the firm’s ability to support flows across South America, the Caribbean and other hard-to-reach markets across the Global South. It will enable CAB to work even more closely with public and private sector clients, financial institutions and partners, to connect clients to the Group’s global network and specialist FX and payments capabilities.

The Guyana office follows the establishment of CAB’s representative office in New York in 2025 and office in Abu Dhabi in 2026.

Neeraj Kapur, Group CEO, commented:

“Our enhanced presence in Guyana builds on the strong Americas platform we have been developing and reflects our long-standing commitment to the region. It demonstrates the action we are taking to deliver on our ambitious strategy to drive sustainable growth, expanding our footprint in key markets where there is a significant opportunity.

“For more than three decades, Crown Agents Bank has been at the side of clients in Guyana and across South America and the Caribbean, including during periods when other international institutions stepped back. Our permanent on-the-ground presence will deepen those relationships and strengthen our ability to support flows across the region, connecting clients to our global network and FX & payments expertise.

“This marks our latest step to provide cross-border payment solutions that power opportunities across the Global South, delivering prosperity in the markets that we serve.”
