Eastern Caribbean Amalgamated Bank (ECAB) has announced the permanent closure of its Woods Branch (ECAB Legacy), with operations set to cease on June 1, 2026. According to Antigua.news, the bank issued a formal notice to customers stating the decision is part of updated service arrangements designed to maintain seamless banking operations across its branch network and digital platforms.
Despite the closure, ECAB has assured customers that full banking and ATM services will remain available at several alternative locations, including the Woods Branch at the former Scotiabank location, High Street, Redcliffe Street, Dockyard, and Coolidge.
Customers who use night deposit and safety deposit box services are being urged to make the necessary transfer arrangements before May 29 to avoid disruptions. Safety deposit box holders may transfer their boxes to High Street, Redcliffe Street, the former Scotiabank Woods Branch, or Coolidge, subject to availability. Any boxes not cleared by the deadline will be automatically transferred to the Redcliffe Street Branch.
The bank is also encouraging customers to collect any outstanding cheque books and cards before May 29. Uncollected items will be moved to the Woods Branch at the former Scotiabank location and made available from June 1.
ECAB confirmed that appointments for new accounts, account updates, and service requests will continue at its remaining branches following the closure. The bank also pointed customers to its online and mobile banking platforms, as well as its ATM network, as part of its commitment to uninterrupted service access.
Management thanked customers for their continued support and encouraged anyone requiring assistance with the transition to contact the bank directly.
