Aruba Bank
Aruba Bank was founded by the late John G. Eman in 1925 in the town of Oranjestad. At that time the Bank was known
as John G. Eman Banking Department, a sole proprietorship. In 1932 the sole proprietorship was incorporated into the
John G.Eman Bank N.V. In order to expand the banking activities even more to support the economic developments of the
island, more capital was necessary which is why the Bank joined forces with another bank in 1936, and hence the name
Aruba Bank was born.
In 1946, Aruba Bank opened a branch in the district of San Nicolas, in order to service the Lago Oil & Transport
Company, its employees in particular and also the community in general.
In 1993 Orco Bank from Curaçao bought 51% of the shares of the Aruba Bank.
Today the Aruba Bank has 5 branches on the island, 12 ATMs and 145 employees.
Despite the establishment of other banks which arrived later on the island, Aruba Bank has maintained its leading position
and has become a full-fledged commercial bank and is still one of the largest banks on the island.
