Maduro Curiel Bank Curacao
Maduro Curiel Bank Curacao (MCB Curacao) was the first commercial bank to establish in the Netherlands Antilles, opening its doors on January 2, 1917 in the capital city of Curacao, Willemstad. The establishment of the Shell Oil Refinery on the shores of the island’s great natural harbor, combined with the opening of the Panama Canal, made Willemstad a busy port on the world shipping routes. The resulting business expansion made then existing banking methods obsolete, for at that time financial transactions were handled by merchants and exchange houses.
Realizing the need for improved banking facilities, the founder, Mr. Joseph Alvarez Correa, fondly known as Shon Jojo, in association with the well-known trading company S.E.L. Maduro & Sons NV, opened the doors of Maduro’s Bank with an initial capital of ANG 1,000,000.- (the Netherlands Antilles guilder now equals approximately US$ 0.56). In 1932 Maduro’s Bank merged with Curiel’s Bank and Maduro & Curiel’s Bank was born. MCB Founder
Since 1970, MCB has been associated with The Bank of Nova Scotia of Toronto, Canada.
With 31 branches on Curaçao, Aruba, Bonaire, St. Maarten and St. Eustatius, Maduro Curiel Bank Curacao is the largest commercial bank in the Dutch Caribbean. Through the past eight decades, Maduro & Curiel’s Bank has also grown in many areas of non-banking financial services including insurance brokerage, underwriting and loss adjustment, in portfolio management and investment services, private banking, and in offshore trust and corporate management services.

Hi, I have a question about sending cash euro´s from Curacao to the Netherlands. Is it possible? What are the costs and do you need to have a bankaccount in Curacao? Basically, if i walk into 1 of your banks in Cucacao, wanting to send the 500,- euro cash I have with me, to my Dutch bank account, do you do this and what do you charge (in case of high costs for transfer, is there a maximum amount to send?). Sounds like money laundry, but it isnt, thats why I want to know the options, to avoid problems. regards
Hello,
I’d like to know what ever happened to the Maduro & Curiel bank’s musical jingle, which years ago my family enjoyed so very much. Back in the early 2000’s I was technically unable to record it, and now we would like to listen to it again, just to revive old memories.
Thank you.
