Republic Bank Guyana accelerates student success in finance, technology

In its ongoing mission to foster financial literacy and human capital development, Republic Bank Guyana is proud to sponsor Right Start Bank accounts totalling $600,000 for top-performing students from Cycle 7 of the WizdomCRM Sustainable Stock Market Game. On Wednesday, in a release, the bank said this initiative is part of its broader commitment to preparing the next generation of Guyanese and Caribbean students for success in an increasingly digital and AI-driven financial world. Four outstanding students from Queen’s College have distinguished themselves among 2,122 participants in Guyana, with Yohance October achieving an impressive 10th place ranking in a competitive field of 7,797 students across Trinidad & Tobago, and Guyana.
According to the bank, 23 students have demonstrated exceptional skills and have placed in the top 150 across the region, showcasing their prowess in portfolio management and strategic asset allocation. Among the school from which those students were drawn are Queen’s College, School of the Nations, and St. Rose’s High School.
“These students’ superior performance reflects their strong grasp of financial concepts, surpassing industry benchmarks such as the S&P 500 benchmark and setting a high standard for their peers across the region,” the bank said in a release.
