New Communications Initiatives Reflect Anguilla's 24/7 Culture

Anguilla's Financial Services sector has activated a three-pronged communications approach to become even more accessible to its existing customers and potential clients. The Government of Anguilla's Financial Services Department and Anguilla Financial Services Association (AFSA) has:

* Relaunched the web site
* Produced the inaugural edition of the Anguilla: Financial Services News
* Updated the financial services brochure.

Anguilla is an emerging financial and E-Commerce centre offering world-standard expertise and the first, digital company registration system: Anguilla's Commercial On-Line Registration Network (ACORN). It is a 24-hour, seven-days-a-week facility enabling companies to be registered in Anguilla anywhere in the world in three-to-five minutes.

The Hon. Victor Banks, Anguilla's Minister for Finance, Economic Development, Investment and Commerce, says ACORN is the modern way in which companies are registered.

"To communicate this message and others about the good work being done in Anguilla we have taken our web site into the 21st Century as well as created a regular update via Anguilla: Financial Services News," said Minister Banks.

The web site provides details about ACORN; useful links to local operators; authorised overseas agents of ACORN; Anguilla's legislative framework as well as the latest news and archived stories. It has also been designed for growth for future on-line services.

Anguilla: Financial Services News will be produced quarterly and will feature the latest news, features on key industry players and educational pieces for practitioners. The newsletter is available both digitally and in hard copy from Government of Anguilla offices.

Alex Richardson, AFSA President, said: "Anguilla's position as an emerging centre can offer global business a specialist level of service. These developments make Anguilla even more accessible to existing and potential global clients."
