Episode Details

Chester Cooper is sounding the alarm on banking neglect in the Family Islands, especially Exuma, where two Scotiabank ATMs have been broken for months—and Sandals Emerald Bay is about to cut access to its own ATM, leaving residents stranded. With Scotiabank’s physical branch long gone and other banks failing to fill the gap, locals are forced to travel miles or resort to risky cash alternatives. Cooper argues that banks profit from The Bahamas but ignore the needs of island communities, despite their growing economies and investments. He’s calling for urgent action to ensure no Bahamian is left behind as these islands continue to thrive.
