CAMANA BAY (CAYMAN ISLANDS) – JANUARY 30, 2024 — RBC Royal Bank (Cayman) Ltd
celebrated 60 years of serving the Cayman Islands as a trusted financial service provider and active
community supporter with a $20,000 donation to the YMCA.

The announcement, which took place on January 25 at a celebration at Camana Bay, was attended by
clients, leaders and members of the community.

The donation will go towards the YMCA Financial Assistance Programme’s 2024 Annual Giving
Campaign, enabling Caymanian children and youth to engage in sports, character development, and
resilience-building activities they might otherwise miss.

Ericka Rolle, AVP Personal Banking and Country Head at RBC shared, “It is an honour to present this
to the YMCA, who I know will put it to good use to make a real difference in the lives of Caymanian
children and youth.”

Director of Philanthropy and Community Engagement at the YMCA, Paola Juarez-Robinson expressed
gratitude for RBC’s generous contribution during the event, emphasizing its anticipated impact.
Rolle took the opportunity to reflect upon and share RBC’s rich and deep history in the Cayman Islands:


“RBC established its first branch in Cayman on February 1, 1964, in conjunction with the beginning of
Cayman’s transformation into a major international financial center. Since then, Cayman has seen
substantial change, from population growth to over 80,000 inhabitants, to an evolution as an established
and burgeoning financial powerhouse and elite tourist destination.”

“Like Cayman, RBC has also grown. From our first branch located at George Town Waterfront, with
just a handful of employees and about 200 clients to a team of 67 employees serving over 7,000 clients
including individuals, small businesses, regional and multi-national corporations, and governments. Our
current suite of services spans personal and commercial banking, wealth management, investment
banking, insurance as well as asset management services. Now that is something to celebrate!”

RBC is proud not only of the financial services and guidance it has provided to Caymanians over the
years but also of their significant participation and contribution to communities.
Rolle explained, “In Cayman, we demonstrate this commitment through partnerships and initiatives
focused on youth, education, the environment, and the community. Just a few examples include support
for the National Trust, the Cayman Arts Festival’s Brass Band Program, RBC’s Primary National Spelling
Bee, and many more.”
