Bancamiga made a significant donation to San Juan de Dios Hospital in Caracas, with the main objective of strengthening the operational capacity of the healthcare center and ensuring that more Venezuelans have access to top-tier medical services.

As a financial institution committed to the country’s development, Bancamiga focuses its social responsibility efforts on fundamental pillars such as health and social well-being. With this contribution, the bank actively joins the mission of San Juan de Dios Hospital, a non-profit institution dedicated to raising funds to support the most vulnerable families, providing them with excellent care and helping them overcome their health problems.

“Financially supporting San Juan de Dios Hospital is an investment in the lives and futures of thousands of children and adults who find in this center a light, a hope, and answers to their medical needs with the highest standards of service, human warmth, and professionalism,” highlighted José Simón Elarba, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Bancamiga.

For his part, Dr. Luis Azpurua, Medical Director of San Juan de Dios Hospital, thanked Bancamiga for its support and clarified that the money received will be invested in medical equipment, always with the intention of serving the population, especially those most in need.

“We want to provide healthcare services to the middle class and those most in need at a reasonable price,” the doctor emphasized.

A health ally

San Juan de Dios Hospital is a leading healthcare provider in Caracas, thanks to its multidisciplinary team and infrastructure adapted to the needs of the population. In 2025 alone, this institution provided outpatient care to more than 25,000 people.

The medical center offers a wide range of services and 36 medical specialties. These include pediatric and adult specialty consultations; a diagnostic and laboratory unit; surgery; and a physical rehabilitation area.

“We are making it clear that there is a God who welcomes and heals everyone. Bancamiga should feel happy and proud because, with God, they are trying to spread goodness,” said Julio Gonzalo Parada, General Director of San Juan de Dios Hospital, regarding the bank’s act of solidarity.

With this alliance, Bancamiga and San Juan de Dios Hospital are consolidating a joint effort that transforms social responsibility into concrete actions, ensuring that quality healthcare remains accessible to those who need it most.

Bancamiga made a significant donation to the Central University of Venezuela (UCV), aimed at comprehensively modernizing its communications platform and optimizing critical areas of its technological infrastructure, demonstrating its firm commitment to sustainable development, cutting-edge education, and the future of Venezuela, stated José Simón Elarba, Chairman of the bank’s Board of Directors.

To date, the UCV community relied on a platform with local servers and outdated open-source collaborative software, with limited capacity that only allowed it to serve administrative and teaching staff.

“Now, with Bancamiga’s support, a complete migration to Google’s global infrastructure will begin. This large-scale modernization project will be implemented progressively over the course of a year, thanks to this donation we have made to UCV to boost the academic activity of one of the region’s most important universities,” explained Elarba.

Impact and transformation

This digital transformation will completely eliminate dependence on hardware and constant software updates, drastically reducing high server maintenance costs.

Google’s platform, widely known worldwide for its proven effectiveness and high security, will benefit an estimated 35,000 users, comprised of 70 % students and 30 % faculty, administrative, and support staff.

Under a single institutional identity, the university community will be able to guarantee access to the system from anywhere in the world.

The donation also included the reactivation of the air conditioning system at the Radio, Television, and Multimedia Management office

The direct impact of this corporate social responsibility contribution from Bancamiga will translate into a qualitative leap for the university. Users will have access to leading Google tools such as Meet, Drive, and Classroom, among others, as well as cutting-edge technologies like Gemini Artificial Intelligence.

The project’s implementation will enhance the scope of research, projects, and daily tasks related to communication, editing, calculation, and audiovisual production for those at UCV, once again positioning the institution at the forefront of education.

Infrastructure restoration

The project financed by Bancamiga also addressed a critical need on campus. The bank assumed responsibility for the maintenance, repair, replacement of parts, and commissioning of 11 central air conditioning units, each with a capacity of 5 tons. These units serve the Radio, Television, and Multimedia Management department, which designs and produces audiovisual content, radio programs, and virtual environments to optimize teaching and learning processes at the institution.

With this strategic alliance, Bancamiga reaffirms its role as a key company with a robust social responsibility program in Venezuela, demonstrating that supporting higher education and bridging the digital divide are fundamental pillars for the country’s sustainable human development.

A new page is being written between El Sistema and Bancamiga, to establish lines of mutual collaboration that continue to transform society, and especially to provide the necessary support for the development of children and young people who make up the more than 400 centers throughout the country.

This agreement signed by the executive director of El Sistema, Eduardo Méndez, and the president of the Board of Directors of Bancamiga, José Simón Elarba, is the formalization of a relationship that has been brewing for some time. Through it, cooperation activities will be promoted in the field of cultural and educational action.

For Méndez, this alliance is a favorable way to add support to the organization, which is already celebrating its 50th anniversary, with its sights set on the coming decades. The commitment is to provide a future for youth based on the musical excellence that El Sistema promotes and that has been emulated in more than 70 countries.

For his part, the President of the Board of Directors of Bancamiga highlighted the importance of El Sistema, considering that it is one of the few national institutions that enjoys total acceptance throughout the country.

El Sistema supported by Bancamiga continues to consolidate the support of strategic alliances

“It is interesting to be able to contribute, because I believe that El Sistema is one of the things that all Venezuelans are most proud of and that unites us,” he said.

Elarba considered that this cooperation agreement between both institutions reaffirms the plans that they have been working hard on for a long time, and that will lead them to realize large-scale social and artistic events in 2025, especially framed in the anniversary celebration of El Sistema.

For Bancamiga, working together with the musical institution is essential to reaffirm its social commitment to the country, by supporting its purpose of transforming society by reorienting education and helping children and young people to acquire knowledge, skills, talent, values ​​and behaviors necessary for their development.

El Sistema —after five decades of existence— continues to consolidate the support of strategic alliances that allow this movement to continue for many more years playing, singing, fighting and making music for everyone.

After four years of efforts, Bancamiga received the PCI DSS certification, a data security standard for the payment card industry. This achievement makes the institution the first bank in Venezuela to obtain it in its 4.0 version.

The PCI DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard) certification is a set of security standards designed to protect payment cardholder information.

The President of the Board of Directors of Bancamiga Banco Universal, José Simón Elarba, expressed that this fact supports the responsibility, seriousness and reliability of Bancamiga in the management of sensitive data from these payment instruments.

“One of the main reasons related to the importance of obtaining PCI DSS 4.0 certification is its focus on protecting sensitive data. This standard establishes strict requirements for the management, storage and transmission of payment card data, which helps prevent the theft of financial information and fraud. The implementation of these measures significantly reduces the risk of customers’ personal data being compromised,” said Elarba.

For Bancamiga, the security of its customers is of enormous importance; and it is the first bank in Venezuela to obtain the certification in its version 4.0.

The president and senior spokesperson of the institution, pointed out that it is also a legal requirement for many financial institutions. Banks that process card payments must adhere to these standards to avoid sanctions and fines.

PCI DSS certification also plays a crucial role in the reputation of the business. When a bank demonstrates that it complies with these standards, it sends a clear message to its customers about its commitment to the security and protection of their data. This trust is essential in the financial sector, where customers need to feel that their information is safe. For Bancamiga, this certificate is a clear example of the importance that security has for the institution.

“From the protection of sensitive data to legal compliance and building trust, this certification ensures that financial institutions operate under rigorous standards that benefit both banks and their customers. In a digital environment where threats are constant, having this certification becomes a great asset for Bancamiga,” said Elarba.

In a fresh and innovative format, Bancamiga started this year an audiovisual series that allowed to spread simple stories of great impact in the communities and in the country. The protagonists have in common their fight for a better Venezuela. This Tuesday the stories of a group of Venezuelans reached a new level, with the baptism of the book Historias Repetibles, the first literary work of the Bancamiga Editorial Fund.

The Editorial Fund is a new initiative of the Bancamiga Social Responsibility Department, with the aim of contributing to the preservation and dissemination of cultural heritage, promoting reading and access to knowledge, and fostering collaboration between institutions, researchers, intellectuals and writers of different currents.

Through 12 stories, Historias Repetibles pays tribute to tradition and to those people who have dedicated their lives to natural conservation projects and to preserving culture. Also to those who inspire with their perseverance and boundless passion, whose achievements are passed on from generation to generation, and to those who are able to get up after a tragic life experience.

With each of the stories, readers will learn about the efforts of their protagonists to achieve their dreams. They will learn that in Caracas there are people who are in charge of prolonging the life of toys, that in Mérida an agronomist has been promoting a project for the registration and preservation of mucuchí dogs for 20 years, or that in Nueva Esparta 27 women are in charge of collecting oysters from the mangroves of La Restinga.

These are stories that, despite having a very different context and development, have as protagonists mothers and fathers, workers and housewives who strive from their trenches for the common good. This is what Lilian Gluck and her team of volunteers do, who have managed to recover and recycle 60,000 stuffed animals, toys, educational games and dolls; Edgar Albarrán, at almost 3,000 meters above sea level in the state of Mérida, by creating Mucuchilandia with the aim of rescuing the Mucuchí race, and Érika Fernández and her oyster farmers, heirs to the art of collecting and cultivating the mangrove oyster, who fight on Margarita Island to transmit this tradition to the new generations. And there are many other stories like these.

During the event held at the PB of Cubo Negro, the President of the Board of Directors of Bancamiga Banco Universal, José Simón Elarba, expressed that the quality of the publications and their contribution to the development of the country will allow the Editorial Fund to become “a national and international reference; in addition to promoting the creation of spaces for participation by renowned authors, allies and interest groups for the organization.”

For the first half of next year, the Fund plans to publish the Manual for entrepreneurs; Answers to 10 key questions for entrepreneurship in Venezuela, a project in which experts participate in order to support those who have business initiatives in the country.

Bancamiga: A tribute to every Venezuelan

In the 184 pages of Repeatable Stories, Venezuelans will get to know Belkis García in A New Dimension of Triumph; Lieska Mofi in Guardians of a Plant Temple; Susanne Zielke and Astrid Rudman in The Voice of Clay; Clemente Balladares in Gardeners of the Sea and Julio Carrillo in Joy between Two Worlds.

They will also meet the multi-faceted Petare in the voice of César Fernández, Alexis Montesino and Doris Pereira; Haidy Collin in Venezuela German is spoken; Érika Fernández in Margariteñas, harvesting mangroves; Lilian Gluck and the sixty thousand illusions; Greisly Avendaño and the new realities of wood; Edgar Albarrán in Mucuchíes: Preserving canine pride in Venezuela; and Juan Carlos Rodríguez and his wife Haydeé Rodríguez in Chuwie: The sloth that awakened consciences.

“With this first publication we are demonstrating our work as a socially responsible company, which contributes strongly to the traditional and cultural memory of the country. Historias Repetibles is a tribute to each Venezuelan fighter, the protagonist of each of the stories told here and which represent the thousands of inhabitants of this blessed land of natural and human wealth,” Bancamiga highlights on page 5 of this work filled with photographs by Gustavo Alemán Troconiz and texts by Nahir Márquez.

With this editorial initiative, Bancamiga once again reaffirms its commitment to carry out programs and projects capable of positively transforming society and building a better Venezuela.

Daniela Viloria, from Fab Lab Caracas, the first digital laboratory in the country, celebrated the training day and the support for those who decide to start a business.

“Bancamiga is the only bank that three years ago gave us the opportunity to open a legal account in 10 minutes. We had been trying for a while, and we had obstacles in other banks, but with Bancamiga the process was very fast,” she said.

Marlyn Yépez, leader of Cacao del Valle, said the following: “I think the support that Bancamiga is giving to entrepreneurs is excellent because we all learn to identify what it is that we really want, what motivates us, what strengthens us, what we need to go from entrepreneurs to businessmen.”

Darvis Sanabria, manager of Dals Café, said that when you have a business “you need a lot of training. It is the only way that we can move up the levels and make our products more known. Through these trainings, you acquire knowledge and apply it to improve your product or service.”
