Mark Watkinson, CEO of Bank One said during the ceremony: “The year ahead however remains clouded with some uncertainty but I would like to recognise the significant assistance that the Bank of Mauritius has provided to both the financial sector and the economy. The direct actions of the Bank of Mauritius have done much to bolster the financial services system and this has allowed banks to support those customers who have needed help during the crisis. Bank One remains committed to Mauritius and our customers. We are very positive about our business and we are investing significantly in our future. Mauritius’s role as the leading International Financial Centre in the region and as a bridge to Africa provide an exciting backdrop to the next major growth story for the island.”

Bank One will move to its new premises at Port Louis Waterfront in 2021.
