The Exchange Desk is a legal way to acquire foreign currency in the national market, with total confidence and security for clients, without intermediaries or surcharges.

During the transmission of the Conecta2 program, María Esther Bastidas, vice president of Treasury at Bancamiga, said that it is a financial mechanism with full legal support, where the rates of the Central Bank of Venezuela are used as a reference and in which it is only necessary to count with an account in foreign currency at the bank and make the request through www.bancamiga.com.

The financial institution has seen its Exchange Desk grow significantly, which began with 20 orders and currently exceeds 900 a day, a figure that reflects its boom.

He added that customers with Bancamiga Points of Sale have priority and, in this connection, he invited them to monetize their bolivars, take advantage of the early settlement (6:00 in the morning) and participate in the Exchange Table.

“It is important that the client with POS maintain adequate and immediate liquidity. All those who have our point of sale are a priority in the Exchange Desk and in this way we repay their trust in the institution, by having a wide range of our products.”

Any client of the institution can participate in the Exchange Table and the process is very simple through the web. The person can purchase from 10 dollars or euros by placing their order between 8:00 and 11:30 in the morning. Between 12:00 and 1:00 p.m. The transmission is made to the BCV and it is at that time that the BCV carries out the accommodation of the order books. The settlement occurs at 1:00 in the afternoon. When the Exchange Desk verifies and the price is not according to the market, the order is rejected, the client receives an email and can place his order that same day if it is from 8:00 a.m. to 11:30 a.m.

Bastidas recommended not placing orders for periods of more than two days, given the country’s accelerating inflation levels.

“Do not be afraid and have confidence in the national bank, one of the sectors of the economy under greater supervision. We must take advantage of the tools offered by the bank,” said the vice president of the Treasury.

Last year, Bancamiga Banco Universal broke schemes, becoming the first bank in Venezuela to get closer to its customers through the realization of a successful webinar, which is broadcast every Thursday through its digital channels.

To meet the needs of the audience, the Communications team opened another space that will be broadcast every Tuesday and which will have special guests. The premiere was led by the economist César Aristimuño, who was interviewed by journalists Alberto Camardiel and Graciela Beltrán Carías.

The general director of ‘Aristimuño, Herrera & Asociados’ expressed that clients expect banks to go beyond the fact of opening accounts or offering loans but that they can fulfill a social, educational, guide and help function to citizens.

During the program, he said that the bank is in a process of profound transformation in the world, Venezuela does not escape this and Bancamiga has been a pioneer in this regard.

The also director of the specialized portal Banca y Negocios affirmed that Bancamiga is among the 10 leading banks active in 2020, with the highest growth both half-yearly and year-on-year of last year according to the Banking Report made by his firm.

“This was not surprising and it is very likely that it will soon be among the top five, because the institution has been rapidly adapting to the real dynamics of the world. Banking will continue to be banking but what we do not know is what that bank will be like,” he said, while qualifying as “fantastic” that people can open their accounts in dollars and mobilize it through a debit or credit card.

Bancamiga offers products and services geared to the needs of each of its clients, so that they can make their initiatives and projects a reality and make their business grow.

Among those alternatives is the Exchange Table, which allows the purchase and sale of dollars and euros by placing an order before 10:30 a.m. And it can be done through Bancamiga Online. Bolivar resources can be accurately and safely converted into currency from the comfort of home.

In the Conecta2 edition, emphasis was placed on the institution’s portfolio, which also has the Cash Account available to its clients, which offers the possibility of making deposits and withdrawing dollars in cash through the ticket offices of the agency network distributed in the national territory.

There is also the Account in Foreign Currency that allows you to make and receive international transfers. Likewise, customers who have Bancamiga Points of Sale can receive settlements for all their operations in dollars.

Both products available in dollars and euros have the particularity of being able to receive funds from operations of the Exchange Market System, according to the agreed prices, through the Bancamiga Exchange Table.

Camardiel recalled that Bancamiga’s foreign currency products are associated with the International Debit Card, which allows making purchases through points of sale inside and outside the country. TDD International offers the possibility of withdrawing cash at international ATMs.

One of the institution’s most recent innovations is the Guaranteed Virtual Card, a Mastercard that works to make purchases over the internet. It can be used on Amazon, to pay for Netflix services, affiliate it with your Paypal account and for everything that involves online purchases.

Aristimuño stated that “the strength of the banking system of these times must be based on the one hand on a great technological platform and on having an approach with the client, where they are cared for, preserved and extended their hand both to those who deposit their money and to the one who asks for a loan. And in this scenario, Bancamiga is very well positioned.”
