Texaco Bahamas Limited has partnered with Scotiabank (Bahamas) Ltd., to provide Automated Teller Machine Services in seven of its New Providence service stations. The service stations at Faith Avenue, Carmichael, Harbour View, Porky’s, Robinson Road, and East/West Highway, have all been upgraded with the ATM machines, allowing customers banking convenience, in addition to the other services that they already enjoy. Additionally, the station at East Street and Soldier Road, which will be re-opened shortly, will also provide this service.

According to Texaco’s General Manager, Dave Slaughter, “this newest partnership is consistent with Texaco’s vision of being the global energy company most admired for its people, partnership, and performance. This new alliance with one of the region’s largest banks allows more convenience to our clients and further positions us in a unique category to provide a comprehensive range of services to our clients.”

The seven locations were selected because of their high traffic flow, and because they meet Texaco’s short term needs. The second phase of the venture will assess the ATM needs of clients throughout The Bahamas, wherever Texaco stations are available.

Mr. Anthony C. Allen, Managing Director, Scotia (Bahamas) Ltd., in recognizing the new venture said, “Scotiabank and Texaco are market leaders in their respective fields and this partnership brings two strong entities together for the benefit of mutual clients. Undoubtedly, it demonstrates our commitment to the economy while providing a win/win situation to all involved. It is a significant opportunity to cater to the needs of bank card and credit card holders.”

Scotiabank’s Corporate Manager, Sales & Marketing, Mr. Clem Foster, added that these new installations expand Scotibank’s ATM base and preferred locations offering withdrawals, transfers between accounts, account balance enquiries and mini statements to a wide cross section of persons through state-of-the-art ATMs. He emphasized that Scotiabank ATM systems accept cards issued by any banking institution provided they carry the Cirrus or Plus logo.

Both Texaco and Scotiabank are optimistic about this strategic banking partnership and look forward to a successful joint venture.
