Port of Spain, May 27, 2025 – In keeping with its commitment to making investment accessible to all, the Unit Trust Corporation (UTC) hosted a Digital Business Customer Engagement session on Saturday, May 17, 2025, at its Tobago Investment Centre.
The event, tailored for unitholders aged 40 and above, was designed to build digital confidence and equip attendees with the knowledge needed to navigate online investing. It also reflects UTC’s ongoing digital transformation and its commitment to enhancing the unitholder experience through technology. Attendees received a hands-on training on the Corporation’s digital tools, including the UTC Mobile App and the Uon online account management platform.
Merlyn Syder, Head of Digital Business at UTC, emphasized the importance of digital inclusion and support for all age groups. “This session was designed to meet the needs of unitholders who may feel less confident in using digital platforms. We recognize that while the financial world is evolving rapidly, it is our responsibility to ensure that no one is left behind,” said Syder. “By bridging the gap between traditional investing and digital solutions, we are empowering all our customers to take charge of their financial futures with confidence.”
Nicholas Nanton, Chief Information Officer (CIO) also highlighted how technology is transforming the way UTC delivers value to its customers. “Digital tools are not just about convenience—they’re about access, empowerment, and informed decision-making,” said Nanton. “We are enabling smarter investing through innovation. Events like this are vital to ensuring that every unitholder, regardless of age or digital fluency, can engage with and benefit from our evolving suite of digital services.”
The Tobago session forms part of a wider series of digital outreach initiatives by UTC, as it continues to build a more inclusive, tech-enabled future for all its stakeholders. The next engagement in Tobago takes place on Saturday, June 7 from 10am.
