Clarien Bank has broadened its board of directors by adding former corporate executive Duncan Card, a move that is expected to reinforce the bank’s strategic focus on growth within Bermuda’s financial services sector.

Card, who has spent two decades in the banking industry and most recently served as chief strategy officer at a leading regional lender, was announced as a board member on Friday. The appointment comes as Clarien Bank continues to pursue initiatives aimed at enhancing digital banking capabilities and expanding its small‑business loan portfolio.

In a statement, Clarien CEO Adrian White noted that Card’s experience in risk management and regulatory compliance will be valuable as the bank navigates the evolving supervisory environment in Bermuda. Card, meanwhile, expressed enthusiasm for contributing to the bank’s long‑term vision, emphasizing the importance of fostering local talent and supporting community‑based financial projects.

The addition of Card to the board is viewed by industry observers as a sign of Clarien’s commitment to strengthening its governance framework while positioning itself for sustained competitiveness in the island’s dynamic banking landscape.
