That'd be the Global Bank of Commerce (fka Swiss American Bank) of Antigua and Barbuda. Swiss American was originally founded by one Michael Rapaport, who received Antiguan diplomatic credentials from the Antiguan Labour Party gov't of Lester Bird. Saab too would later receive diplomatic credentials from the ALP gov't of Gaston Browne. Always felt like an intriguing overlap to me.
