BSP started expanding its footprint in the region since 2006 when it bought the Habib Bank in Fiji, National Bank of Solomon Islands in 2007 and the Colonial Groups of Companies (banking and life businesses) in Fiji in 2009.
In July 2015, BSP had purchased Westpac’s Cook Islands, Samoa as well as Tonga businesses.
"Our expansion into Solomon Island reinforces our vision to become the preeminent bank in PNG and the South Pacific and we are 100% committed to providing flexible, convenient everyday banking solutions for all our clients," Fleming remarked.
BSP does not plan to make any disruptive changes following the acquisition, Fleming added.
