  • Bank accounts important for “next phase” of wealth transfer- Ali

    Bank accounts important for “next phase” of wealth transfer- Ali

    The Guyana government, under the leadership of President Irfaan Ali, is intensifying efforts to encourage citizens to open bank accounts as a critical step in the nation’s wealth transfer strategy. Speaking at a reception hosted by the Canada Guyana Chamber of Commerce, President Ali emphasized the importance of integrating bank accounts with the new Electronic Identification Card (eID) system. This initiative aims to streamline government services, reduce bureaucratic inefficiencies, and enhance transparency. President Ali clarified that the rollout of the eID card is not directly tied to the disbursement of upcoming cash grants, which he had previously hinted at during the 2025 election campaign. Vice President Bharrat Jagdeo reaffirmed the President’s commitment to fulfilling these promises. To facilitate this transition, the government and banking sector have simplified the criteria for opening personal, small business, and corporate accounts, eliminating previously burdensome requirements. The overarching goal is to ensure every Guyanese citizen has access to a bank account, paving the way for a more efficient and transparent financial system.

  • Sagicor increases fee for ABM withdrawal from other banks

    Sagicor increases fee for ABM withdrawal from other banks

    KINGSTON, Jamaica — Sagicor Bank has announced a significant change in its fee structure for automated banking machine (ABM) withdrawals, effective Monday, October 20. The fee for withdrawals from other local banks will rise from $59.23 to $61.53. This adjustment impacts Sagicor customers who utilize ABMs at other local banking institutions through the multilink network. The bank attributes this increase to recent adjustments made by JETS Limited, the operator of the Multilink network. Additionally, earlier in October, Sagicor reduced the maximum cash retrieval limit per transaction from $100,000 to $50,000. However, the daily withdrawal cap remains unchanged at $100,000. These changes are expected to influence customer behavior and banking practices in the region.

  • Renters brace for higher rates, landlords hope to keep it managable

    Renters brace for higher rates, landlords hope to keep it managable

    A new tax on rental income, set to take effect on January 1, 2026, has stirred significant debate among renters and property owners in Trinidad and Tobago. The tax, ranging from 2.5% to 3.5%, will apply to rental incomes of $20,000 or more, accompanied by a one-time $2,500 registration fee. The measure, announced by Finance Minister Davendranath Tancoo during the 2026 national budget presentation on October 13, is projected to generate $70 million in government revenue. However, its implementation has raised concerns about its potential impact on housing affordability and tenant-landlord dynamics. Many renters fear that landlords will pass the additional costs onto them, further straining their finances. A Cumuto renter expressed frustration, stating, ‘It will fall on the renter because the landlord will claim it cuts into their profits. They’ll say they need to survive and maintain the property, even though they don’t maintain the properties well. It’s going to make the quality of life for renters poorer.’ Similarly, San Juan renter Avi-Mae Shaw anticipated conflicts over the surcharge, saying, ‘I can already hear people quarrelling about how they’re supposed to make their money with this surcharge.’ Landlords, on the other hand, are grappling with the challenge of balancing their own financial needs with the affordability of their properties. While some landlords acknowledged that rent increases are inevitable, they pledged to keep hikes reasonable. For instance, a San Juan landlord stated that the price of a one-bedroom apartment, currently advertised at $1,700, should not increase by more than $150. Another landlord emphasized the need for moderation, saying, ‘We still have a responsibility to keep it manageable.’ However, not all landlords are in favor of the tax. A Belmont landlord in her late 30s criticized the measure, noting its potential to disproportionately affect low-income rentals. ‘As a young landlord who tries very hard to keep my rent rates affordable, this makes it more difficult to balance the books,’ she said. In contrast, a retired couple vowed not to raise their rent, citing empathy for tenants’ financial struggles. Finance Minister Tancoo defended the tax as a necessary step to ensure equitable contributions to national development. ‘Development costs must be shared across every aspect of society,’ he stated. While acknowledging the risk of costs being passed onto consumers, Tancoo urged renters to explore alternative housing options if landlords increase prices. He also highlighted plans to establish a rent board to address tenant concerns about exploitative practices. ‘We will have to go back to a similar type of organization to ensure a harmonious relationship between landlords and tenants,’ he said. The new tax has ignited a broader conversation about housing affordability, tenant rights, and the responsibilities of property owners in Trinidad and Tobago.
