BSP Vanuatu officially opens in Port Vila

Bank of South Pacific chief executive officer Robin Fleming says the bank’s acquisition of Westpac Vanuatu has gone well in terms of branding, with BSP prominent in the business community and customer experience.

Fleming told The National that he and chairman Sir Kostas Constantinou visited Port Vila last week for the opening of BSP Vanuatu.

“Our customers were positive of the change in ownership to BSP, noting that our staff were enthusiastic and responsive, and also very proud to be the newest members of the BSP family,” Fleming said.

“We gave the clients in Vanuatu a background on the proud history of BSP, its Papua New Guinean ownership, its strong balance sheet and profitability, as well as its commitment to the region.”

Sir Kostas emphasised that BSP is a true Pacific bank with ownership, management and culture all Pacific.

He also reflected on the strong Melanesian ties with Vanuatu.

Last Friday, the Central Bank Governor Simeon Athy and the Minister for Lands Ralph Regenvanu opened BSP Vanuatu in Port Vila.

Athy welcomed BSP to Vanuatu and looked forward to the bank participating positively in the development of the Vanuatu economy.
