Martin - Scotia Bank isn't a Belizean bank as such, but a Canadian bank operating in Belize. When I wanted to transfer money here years ago (God help me!) Lloyds said it was easier to transfer it to Scotia than to another bank. As there wasn't at that time a branch of Scotia on the island it wasn't actually that convenient, but now that there is (right by the airstrip) and IMO it's the nicest bank to deal with, it's an easy decision.
