In a significant corporate-cultural partnership, Kingdom Bank Corporation has announced its inaugural sponsorship of contestant Dainisha Eusebe for Dominica’s 2026 Carnival Queen Pageant. The formal sashing ceremony occurred during this week’s carnival press conference, marking the international banking institution’s first venture into supporting national cultural events.
Aurelle Joseph, Compliance Executive of Kingdom Bank Corporation, presented the sponsorship while emphasizing the institution’s commitment to Dominica’s development. “While our clients are primarily international, our presence and purpose here always remain connected to the Commonwealth of Dominica,” Joseph stated. “Over the past five years, we have consistently maintained economic investment, professional engagement, and regulatory partnership right here at home.”
The banking executive utilized the platform to clarify Kingdom Bank Corporation’s operational model as an internationally registered online bank providing private and corporate banking services within Dominica. Joseph characterized the institution as embodying “a forward-looking approach to global banking, while playing a meaningful role in the growth and development of Dominica.”
Miss Eusebe, representing the Grandbay community, expressed profound gratitude for the corporate endorsement. “To be a contestant in the 2026 National Queen Pageant is already a dream,” she acknowledged, “but to have that dream supported by a corporate partner like the Kingdom Bank Corporation makes this moment even more meaningful.”
The contestant pledged to represent her sponsor “with excellence, grace, and purpose,” while noting the historical significance of being the first pageant candidate ever sponsored by the financial institution. This partnership signals growing corporate recognition of cultural events as platforms for community engagement and national development.
