Incorporated in 1992 and declared open on November 12, 1994, Demerara Bank Limited is Guyana’s first indigenous commercial bank. DBL currently has seven branches located across the country, including a Corporate Office to cater to the Bank’s corporate customers, and nine ATM locations.
The idea of a private sector bank was conceived by Dr. Yesu Persaud, a Guyanese industrialist who envisioned the establishment of a bank in Guyana that fosters innovation, and provides export trade finance, all while offering high-quality and competitive services.
