The National Commercial Bank of Anguilla Ltd (NCBA) joins the regional financial community in mourning the passing of Mr. Marius Alexis St. Rose, a distinguished leader, nation-builder, and trusted advisor whose contributions to banking and development in the Caribbean remain profound and enduring.
Mr. St. Rose served on the Board of Directors of NCBA during a period of critical transformation for the institution and the wider Anguillian financial landscape, from 15 March 2016 to 17 January 2018. With his wealth of experience at both the national and regional levels, he provided steady guidance that strengthened NCBA’s governance, sharpened its strategic direction, and reinforced its role as a pillar of Anguilla’s economy.
A consummate professional and visionary, Mr. St. Rose believed deeply in the importance of strong, sustainable financial institutions to the prosperity of small island states. His insights drew from decades of leadership across the Caribbean, but he applied them with a grounded understanding of Anguilla’s unique context and challenges. Through his service, NCBA benefitted from his discipline, foresight, and commitment to ensuring that banking remains accessible, resilient, and responsive to the needs of the people it serves.
Mr. St. Rose’s legacy at NCBA lives on in the strength of the institution today. It is a bank that continues to grow in service to the people of Anguilla, guided by the principles of sound governance and financial stewardship he championed. His impact will be felt for generations, not only within NCBA, but also across the region’s financial sector, where his work helped shape pathways to stability and development.
We extend our deepest sympathies to his family, friends, and colleagues. The Board, Management and Staff of NCBA salute Mr. Marius Alexis St. Rose for his unwavering service, remarkable vision, and enduring contribution. May his memory continue to inspire excellence in banking and development across the Caribbean.
