KINGSTON, Jamaica — National Commercial Bank Jamaica Limited (NCB) has been awarded the Best FX Bank Award for 2026 by Global Finance – its eighth consecutive win.

Noting that the award reinforces its leadership in foreign exchange solutions, Assistant Vice President in the Treasury and Correspondent Banking Division at NCB Peter Higgins said:

“This recognition is significant for us. Four years after moving FX fully online, we continue to lead the market in forwards, structured solutions and liquidity support, recording close to J$8 billion in activity across all major currencies this year.”

Higgins maintained that that level of performance was only possible due to the discipline of the NCB team and trust from customers who trust NCB with their most critical transactions.

“We are grateful for that trust and remain committed to delivering the speed, reliability and expertise they count on,” he said.

Citing customer-centricity and continuous digital enhancements as the driver of NCB’s sustained leadership in the FX space, Higgins noted that the bank’s ability to support major corporate clients in energy, telecommunications and other key sectors has reinforced its reputation for reliability and real liquidity.

“The needs of our clients drive the way we operate. These are large, complex transactions that require precision and speed, and our team works hard to deliver that consistently,” Higgins said.

Pointing to the Global Finance Best FX Bank Award as an established benchmark in the industry,  NCB maintained that its repeated recognition signals sustained performance in a market that demands precision, liquidity and strong execution.

Executive Vice President Tanya Watson Francis said as Jamaica’s economy navigates the aftermath of Hurricane Melissa, NCB’s Treasury and Capital Management Division remains focused on stability and proactive client support.

“Twenty-twenty-six will bring challenges, but our commitment to clients will not change,” said Watson Francis. “We anticipate a more measured FX market as businesses recover, but our priority is clear: providing strong liquidity and dependable execution so our customers can stay agile in an evolving environment.”
