Finance Leases

Leasing is an alternative to traditional loans that is used for financing high-value operating assets and transportation equipment.

Leasing is done in two primary forms; Operating Leases and Finance Leases. An Operating Lease is one under which the Lessor takes responsibility for the maintenance and up-keep of the asset. Republic Bank (Barbados) Limited (RBBB) offers the Finance Lease where the Lessee (the Company) takes responsibility for the maintenance and up-keep of the asset with lease payments being in the form of a rent.
