Sco­tia­bank has named two new se­nior ex­ec­u­tives for its Caribbean South and East re­gions.

In no­tices post­ed to the Trinidad and To­ba­go Stock Ex­change and pub­lished in the me­dia, Am­bi­ca Bisses­sar was named Head, Re­tail Bank­ing Caribbean South & East, while In­gram Bain was an­nounced as Di­rec­tor, Com­pli­ance, Caribbean South & East. Both ap­point­ments took ef­fect on Wednes­day, April 1, 2026.

Ac­cord­ing to the no­tice, Bisses­sar is a high­ly re­spect­ed bank­ing leader with near­ly two decades of ser­vice at Sco­tia­bank, with mul­ti­dis­ci­pli­nary ex­pe­ri­ence across fi­nance, trea­sury, trade fi­nance, cor­po­rate and com­mer­cial bank­ing, as well as re­tail and small busi­ness bank­ing. Her ed­u­ca­tion­al back­ground in­cludes a post­grad­u­ate qual­i­fi­ca­tion in Busi­ness Ad­min­is­tra­tion, with a spe­cial­ism in In­ter­na­tion­al Trade and Fi­nance from the Ed­in­burgh Busi­ness School, Heri­ot-Watt Uni­ver­si­ty.

The no­tice al­so con­firmed that Bain will as­sume the role of Chief Com­pli­ance Of­fi­cer, fol­low­ing the in­ter­im ap­point­ment held by De­nesh Abra­ham since Jan­u­ary 17, 2026. Abra­ham, the no­tice stat­ed, will con­tin­ue to serve in his sub­stan­tive role as Di­rec­tor, AML Op­er­a­tions and Trans­for­ma­tion.

Bain was de­scribed in the no­tice as a sea­soned bank­ing pro­fes­sion­al with 35 years of ex­pe­ri­ence and broad ex­per­tise across branch bank­ing, col­lec­tions, sales and mar­ket­ing, in­ter­nal au­dit, and reg­u­la­to­ry com­pli­ance. He holds a Mas­ter of Busi­ness Ad­min­is­tra­tion from the Uni­ver­si­ty of Der­by (Unit­ed King­dom).

Last month, Sco­tia­bank Trinidad and To­ba­go Ltd an­nounced in­come af­ter tax­a­tion of $161 mil­lion for the first quar­ter end­ed Jan­u­ary 2026. This rep­re­sent­ed a de­crease of $6 mil­lion, or 4 per cent, com­pared to the cor­re­spond­ing pe­ri­od in 2025.
