How ECCB’s Simplified Banking Initiative Will Change Banking in the Caribbean Forever

Описание: The ECCB’s Simplified Banking Initiative is one of the biggest financial reforms in OECS history — and it will change banking in the Caribbean forever. This episode breaks down how tiered KYC, digital identity verification, standardized onboarding, and risk-based access will finally remove the barriers that kept thousands unbanked.

For decades, Caribbean banking has meant long lines, repeated documentation, and slow approval times. Simplified Banking fixes that by cutting onboarding from weeks to minutes and making banking easier, faster, and more inclusive for youth, migrants, small traders, and low-income groups.

We also explore the First Step Savings Account, a basic bank account that requires only one valid ID, no minimum balance, and no maintenance fees — a major step toward digital financial inclusion and regional modernization.

Whether you're in banking, fintech, a credit union, or simply want to understand the future of Caribbean finance, this episode explains why Simplified Banking is not just a compliance update — it’s an economic transformation.
