Trust Company (Guyana) Limited was formerly Royal Bank Trust Company (Guyana) Limited, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Royal Bank of Canada. In 1984, the Royal Bank of Canada sold its Guyana operations to the Government of Guyana and the shares were bought by a small group of businessmen and professionals. Thus, the Trust Company Guyana Limited was formed.
TCGL subsequently increased its share capital and expanded its shareholder base. Today, it offers traditional trusteeship services in addition to a wide range of other financial services which include investments, brokerage, registrar, pension schemes and mortgages.
