Behind every ancient document, every religious painting, and every corner of the historic center of Caracas, there is a story that defines us as Venezuelans. Aware of the importance of keeping these traditions alive, Bancamiga has decided to take a proactive step to support the operations of the Sacred Art Museum of Caracas and the Archdiocese Historical Archive, ensuring that their valuable legacy remains accessible to everyone.

This alliance goes far beyond a financial contribution. It is a genuine commitment to culture. The bank’s support will guarantee that the multidisciplinary team that brings these spaces to life—archivists, restorers, museum professionals, guides, administrative and security personnel—can continue their daily work of protecting, researching, and showcasing the treasures they safeguard to the world.

An alliance where culture is the winner

For Father Gaspere Salerno, director of the Historical Archive and president of the Sacred Art Museum, this agreement represents a breath of fresh air and a golden opportunity for both parties.

“It has been a very interesting synergy, where both institutions benefit. Bancamiga promotes Venezuelan art and culture, while we conserve, restore, and disseminate this religious heritage, which is vital for the Church and, above all, for the entire nation.”

To understand the value of these spaces, it’s worth highlighting what they safeguard:

The Archdiocesan Historical Archive: one of the most important documentary treasures in the country. Its shelves hold records and histories dating back to the 16th century. It is an inexhaustible source for understanding Venezuela’s past.

The Sacred Art Museum: more than a static place, it is a vibrant center for spiritual, educational, and cultural encounters. It houses one of the most impressive collections of religious art in the region and offers diplomas and advanced studies in sacred art in partnership with national universities.

Visit them!

Located in the heart of the capital’s historic center, the Sacred Art Museum is open Tuesday through Sunday, from 10:00 am to 5:30 pm. Its schedule is always active with guided tours, talks, and exhibitions that connect the past with the present.

In addition, in partnership with national universities, it offers advanced studies in sacred art and ecclesiastical historical archives, as well as specialized diplomas.

With its financial backing, Bancamiga ensures that the doors of both centers will remain open and will serve to design new educational projects and activities, so that more Venezuelans can reconnect with their own history.

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.

Bancamiga consolidates its position as one of the leaders in serving individual and corporate clients, processing more than 111,000 foreign currency orders over the last three months: in March through the Auction mechanism and since April through Digital Intervention.

These results are possible because Bancamiga has a robust, agile, and dynamic technological platform that allows its clients to place orders easily and quickly through Bancamiga Online, explains a statement from the institution.

This entire operation is carried out under the strict coordination of the Central Bank of Venezuela (BCV), facilitating access to foreign currency at the official rate set by the governing body.

During March, the number of transactions processed was 38,254, and between April and May 20, it reached 72,782.

Once the BCV approves the funds, they are credited to each client’s Digital Foreign Currency USD Account. From that moment on, the funds are available for electronic use through any Bancamiga debit card or by reloading the prepaid card in foreign currency, offering the possibility of making purchases, traveling, or paying for services both within and outside the country.

This historic achievement has been significantly aided by the impact of the innovative campaign “These are the ones that matter,” spearheaded by renowned writer and humorist Claudio Nazoa. The campaign has actively promoted the use of Bancamiga cards as the most efficient and secure tools for managing and leveraging allocated funds.

In this way, Bancamiga demonstrates, through actions, technology, and a personal touch, why, as it approaches its 20th anniversary, it is the bank that has championed development and financial connectivity for Venezuelans, says the document.

The President of the Board of Directors of Bancamiga, José Simón Elarba, affirms that “investing in health is a fundamental pillar for the country’s development.” This is why, with its Social Responsibility strategy, the bank reaffirms its commitment to Venezuela and the well-being of Venezuelans by completing four years of sustained support for the Dr. Domingo Luciani Hospital.

This strategic alliance has enabled the modernization of equipment, infrastructure improvements, and the strengthening of surgical capacity at one of the country’s most important healthcare centers, benefiting thousands of people who visit this medical institution, Elarba adds.

Since 2023, the financial institution has focused its efforts on equipping the hospital with cutting-edge technology and specialized tools, understanding that health is a fundamental area of ​​care.

“Bancamiga’s history of contributions to the hospital reflects planned management oriented toward the critical needs of the healthcare center, helping to guarantee access to the human right to health,” emphasizes the Chairman of the Bank’s Board of Directors.

The financial institution began this social responsibility policy with the donation of a translucent surgical bed and a high-tech resectoscope for procedures in the urology and gynecology departments.

The hospital was also provided with 93 pieces of stainless steel surgical instruments (manufactured in Germany) and a specialized kit for the bariatric surgery program. In addition, infrastructure recovery plans were initiated, and direct banking services were provided to medical personnel at their workplaces.

Ongoing support

In 2024, Bancamiga’s efforts focused on two other strategic areas. The institution donated three boxes of specialized surgical instruments for traumatology and orthopedics, areas of extremely high demand in both emergency and elective surgeries.

Another important milestone was the donation of 42 pieces of radiation protection equipment (lead aprons, masks, and goggles, among others), ensuring the safety of medical personnel and patients in the radiology department, as well as during medium- and high-complexity procedures.

The following year, the provision of equipment to the health center included three-position electric beds and multiparameter monitors for monitoring vital signs. Furthermore, a state-of-the-art lesion generator was delivered, enabling pain management through frequency radiation therapy, an innovative therapeutic option for patients at the Domingo Luciani Hospital.

José Simón Elarba emphasizes that “in 2026, Bancamiga maintained its support for the hospital, contributing decisively to the operational efficiency of the surgical area” by carrying out specialized repair and maintenance work on the operating room climate control system.

This project—which included preventive and corrective maintenance of the cooling units—guarantees asepsis and optimal conditions in the surgical area, ensuring the continuity of procedures and the operational capacity of the healthcare center.

“Our mission goes beyond offering financial services. With our social commitment, we seek to positively transform the environment where we operate. The Domingo Luciani Hospital is a benchmark for healthcare, and Bancamiga is proud to invest in the health of Venezuelans and contribute to ensuring that its medical staff has the necessary tools to save lives,” he stated.

A human focus

Beyond the equipment, Bancamiga’s commitment has had a human face. Over the years, executives and brand ambassadors have visited the facilities, especially the pediatric ward, bringing messages of hope and joy to the children hospitalized there.

With these actions, Bancamiga reaffirms its commitment to social investment as a long-term endeavor, focused on expanding access to healthcare and strengthening the institutions that serve Venezuelans.
