Kaieteur News reports two separate Global Finance awards for Scotiabank in Guyana for 2026: one for consumer digital banking and another for its mobile banking app. The publication also lists both award categories for Scotiabank in six other markets: The Bahamas, Barbados, Cayman Islands, Jamaica, Trinidad & Tobago and Turks & Caicos Islands.

The reported third consecutive year of recognition applies to Scotiabank’s digital banking leadership, not necessarily to these same two awards. Kaieteur News says the awards assess factors including digital-customer adoption and growth, benefits from digital initiatives, and the functionality of web and mobile platforms. Those criteria describe the awards’ selection process; the article does not establish which factors determined Scotiabank’s wins. It describes the awards as among the financial services industry’s most respected, attributing the recognition to the bank’s press release.
