Suriname’s banking system consists of three major commercial banks: Republic Bank, DSB Bank, and Hakrinbank. The government is a part owner of Hakrinbank and DSB Bank.  The three banks have a combined 80 percent market share. There are also five smaller local banks.  The majority of banks do not have correspondent arrangements with U.S. banks.  Bank transfers occur through the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication (SWIFT) system.  All of the aforementioned banks offer electronic banking services.
