When the Revolution began to take the first steps toward a new Cuba in 1959, Ernesto Che Guevara took on the responsibility of reorganizing the island's financial system, convinced that it should be at the service of the people.
In response to a historic commitment, the nationalization of the banks took place on October 13, 1960, and Che was there, not as an economist but as a revolutionary.
Since then, the celebration of Bank Workers' Day has become a reaffirmation of the bold, ethical, and deeply humane vision championed by the Heroic Guerrilla at the head of the National Bank of Cuba.
Guáimaro recognizes those who facilitate access to credit, organize pension payments, patiently address the financial needs of the population, and take on new challenges in times of digital transformation with professionalism and dedication. This is the best tribute.
