The Guyana Bank for Trade and Industry Limited (GBTI) on Saturday launched its Port Mourant branch offering Berbicians a drive-in facility for large deposits and Saturday openings to coincide with market shopping.

The branch which is housed in the lower flat of a privately-owned building was transformed at a cost of some $50m. It was found that renovating and renting was a better option than spending over $200m on a new building.

It was the second to be launched in East Berbice and the 12th in the country.
