Maduro Curiel Bank
Maduro & Curiel’s Bank N.V. was the first commercial bank to establish in the Netherlands Antilles, opening its doors on January 2, 1917 in the capital city of Curaçao, Willemstad. The establishment of the Shell Oil Refinery on the shores of the island’s great natural harbor, combined with the opening of the Panama Canal, made Willemstad a busy port on the world shipping routes. The resulting business expansion made then existing banking methods obsolete, for at that time financial transactions were handled by merchants and exchange houses.
Realizing the need for improved banking facilities, the founder, Mr. Joseph Alvarez Correa, fondly known as Shon Jojo, in association with the well-known trading company S.E.L. Maduro & Sons NV, opened the doors of Maduro’s Bank with an initial capital of ANG 1,000,000.- (the Netherlands Antilles guilder now equals approximately US$ 0.56). In 1932 Maduro’s Bank merged with Curiel’s Bank and Maduro & Curiel’s Bank was born.
Since 1970, MCB has been associated with The Bank of Nova Scotia of Toronto, Canada.
With 31 branches on Curaçao, Aruba, Bonaire, St. Maarten and St. Eustatius, MCB is the largest commercial bank in the Dutch Caribbean. Through the past eight decades, Maduro & Curiel’s Bank has also grown in many areas of non-banking financial services including insurance brokerage, underwriting and loss adjustment, in portfolio management and investment services, private banking, and in offshore trust and corporate management services.
