Incorporated on the 13th of May 1998, Provident Bank & Trust of Belize Limited has Class ‘A’ license to provide international banking services to non-residents. It became the pioneer and the leader in international banking services in Belize, and now it has evolved into a globally competitive international bank.
Three years later, on the 2nd of January 2001, the Alliance Bank of Belize Limited was incorporated to undertake domestic banking for residents of Belize. ABBL’s entrance in the market was historic for Belize, because since that time Belizeans can save, borrow and invest in a local bank, which would channel invested funds right back into the country’s economy. To create a fresh image and start a new life, both banks effectively changed their names on the 1st of January 2010. Provident Bank & Trust of Belize Limited changed into Heritage International Bank & Trust Limited, and Alliance Bank of Belize Limited changed into Heritage Bank Limited.
