With the usual parade and the laying of a wreath in front of the bust of José Martí in the park that bears his name in the city of Ciego de Ávila, bank workers celebrated the 64th anniversary of the nationalisation of Cuban banking, and expressed their commitment to diversify services in pursuit of greater quality and efficiency in serving the people.

The moment was an opportunity to recognise the work of René Groero Cruz, María Elena Castro Goicochea, Gliceria de la Caridad Morales Fernández, Ana Bárbara Galván Noa and Iván Marcelino González Valdés, from the Banco Popular de Ahorro (BPA) branch, and Odalys Parrilla Parada and Eduardo Sosa Sosa, from the Banco de Crédito y Comercio (Bandec), for 40 uninterrupted years in the sector.

During the day, workers with outstanding performance in banking institutions in the province for 35, 30, 25 and 20 years also received distinctive seals.

Speaking at the ceremony, Kelly Pardillo Padilla, head of the department of Organisation and Communication at the provincial directorate of the BPA, called for the use of electronic channels to be encouraged as a fundamental purpose in the process of bankarisation that is taking place in the country.

Murvian Iglesias Pérez, director of institutional communication in Bandec, on behalf of the Party and the Government in the territory of Avila, sent a message of congratulations to the bank workers, who this October 13th celebrate their day with the commitment to guarantee a safe and efficient service.
