Originally the Surinaamse Postspaarbank was founded on January 1st 1880 by Governor van Sypesteyn but has since then known various settings and name changes. The Surinaamse Postspaarbank in the current setting was established by law in 1975 and is the only bank in Suriname which is fully guaranteed by the State. For many years its main objective has been to improve the savings behavior of the population, but in the last decade it has more and more evolved into the bank of the state itself. Recently, under a new management and recognising the ample business opportunities in the region, the bank has started to diversify into commercial and corporate banking. With an interesting mix of retail, corporate and public clients the Surinaamse Postspaarbank is a fast growing bank with huge potential. The bank is currently broadening its scope to the Caribbean region. Invitations for correspondent banking are therefore welcome.

In 1995, the activities of this institution was consolidated and centralised as the Caribbean Centre for Monetary Studies. The CCMS built on the solid research foundation of the old RPMS, while enhancing efforts in the area of central bank training.
In May 2008 the Governors of Caribbean central banks that contribute to the funding of the Caribbean Centre for Monetary Studies expanded the Centre’ s mandate to include issues in finance, banking and investments, and this 40-year old institution was renamed the Caribbean Centre for Money and Finance( CCMF) in recognition of it expanded mandate and the inclusion of new funding principals from private financial institutions in the Caribbean.
The new CCMF aimed to facilitate high quality research in monetary, financial and other issues relevant to the central banks and private enterprises in the regional financial sector. The Centre is once again being restructured to
