Almost five years back the bank launched polymer notes over cotton ones due to certain benefits like durability, as polymer is less fragile than cotton, resulting in less wear and tear of the note. Other than this it was better in areas of security and cost effectiveness. Also, it had a coating of polyurethane varnish making it more durable in cases of water spillage.
A Joint Select Committee (JSC) of Parliament has been set up to examine on the issues of avoiding fraud and customer protection systems in the financial service sector of Trinidad and Tobago.
Central Bank of Trinidad and Tobago is expected to present before the committee and explain their stand on the topics of fraud and customer protection in financial sectors. This way the bank is expected to deepen its bond with law enforcement agencies and financial institutions, law enforcement and committees like JSC.
In addition to committees facilitating discussions on financial issues, there will be public messaging regarding awareness against fraud and cybercriminals.
The bank is also liable to present a report on possible and sustainable methods of payment in the country. It will also be a part of efforts put towards achieving the targets for Global Forum.Latest
