Local banking essentials

What to check before opening an account in Port of Spain

Regulation

Banks must be licensed by the Central Bank of Trinidad and Tobago under the Financial Institutions Act, and non-bank payment service providers and e-money issuers are registered and supervised by the CBTT under the payment systems framework. Confirm the licence on the Bank's published registers before holding funds with a provider.

Local account details

Trinidad and Tobago stays outside the IBAN scheme: local accounts are identified by the bank plus its own account number, and wires out of the twin-island republic quote the bank's BIC and the beneficiary details.

Local currency: TTD (Trinidad and Tobago dollar (the local dollar is not freely floating against the US dollar; USD access is intermediated by the banks and the Central Bank))

Payments and transfers

The Central Bank operates the real-time gross settlement system for large-value payments, and retail interbank transfers clear through the domestic automated clearing arrangements, with the major banks (Republic Bank, Scotiabank, RBC, CIBC FirstCaribbean and NCB) offering mobile apps for everyday account-to-account transfers; card spending rides Visa/Mastercard rails and point-of-sale acceptance is broad in urban areas. Because US dollars cannot be freely obtained at a floating rate, USD pricing and remittance corridors are shaped by the banks and the CBTT's foreign-exchange allocations.
