<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>The bank&#8217;s equity reached 57.317 billion bolivars,</strong> equivalent to US$104.3 million, representing year-on-year increases of 1,038.7 % and 98.7 %, respectively. This performance propelled it to seventh place in the ranking, up from eighth a year earlier. With this result, Bancamiga achieved a market share of 3.6 % in this category.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">This strengthening of its equity was accompanied by a sustained improvement in profitability indicators. <strong>Return on equity (ROE) reached 49.6 %,</strong> a year-on-year increase of 38.7 percentage points (above the average), allowing it to climb six positions compared to its ranking in May 2025.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Meanwhile, <strong>return on assets (ROA) reached 10.8 %,</strong> an increase of 9.3 percentage points compared to May 2025. Year-on-year, Bancamiga climbed eight places in this category.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>The institution also accumulated a net profit of 9.791 billion bolivars (US$23.2 million),</strong> the sixth highest among Venezuelan banks, after climbing seven positions from its ranking in May of last year. In bolivars, the accumulated profit showed an annualized growth of 6,187.3 %, and in dollars it was 1,002 %, both higher than the system average.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>This progress was supported by total accumulated financial income of 36.431 billion bolivars,</strong> equivalent to US$86.4 million, with increases of 770.7 % and 53 %, respectively.</p>
<h3 style="text-align: left;">The loan portfolio remained among the six largest in the banking sector</h3>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Bancamiga&#8217;s gross loan portfolio closed May with a balance of 96.888 billion bolivars (US$176.4 million),</strong> an amount that allowed it to maintain its sixth position in the banking ranking and a market share of 4.69 %.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">In bolivars, <strong>the portfolio registered year-on-year growth of 588.9 % and 21 % in dollars,</strong> remaining one of the main drivers of revenue generation for the institution. In fact, the loan business represented 65.1 % of total revenue at the end of May.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Financial intermediation reached 45.88 %,</strong> while the delinquency rate stood at 2.66 %, <strong>with a coverage ratio of 152.92 % for non-performing loans,</strong> reflecting an adequate capacity to support loans with defaults.</p>
<h3 style="text-align: left;">Deposits grew by nearly 750 % in dollars</h3>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Figures from <strong>Aristimuño Herrera &amp; Asociados</strong> indicate that Bancamiga ended May with public deposits of 211.197 billion bolivars (US$384.4 million), maintaining its sixth-place ranking and a market share of 4.96 %.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">In foreign currency, <strong>deposits increased by 48.2 % compared to the same month of the previous year, and by 749.6 % in bolivars</strong> during the same period. The deposit structure continued to be concentrated in checking accounts, which represented 98.6 % of the total, while savings accounts accounted for 0.14 %.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">In May, Bancamiga opened a new branch at the Tamanaco Shopping Center (CCCT), expanding its customer service points. The new space will allow users and businesses to open accounts in bolivars and foreign currency, acquire point-of-sale terminals, apply for Mastercard debit cards, and receive credit advice.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>This space represents a step forward in the company&#8217;s role as a close partner for individuals and businesses,</strong> reaffirming its commitment to offering accessible and innovative financial solutions as it approaches its 20th anniversary.</p>
<h3 style="text-align: left;">Assets grew 64 % in dollar terms</h3>
<p style="text-align: justify;">At the end of May, Bancamiga Banco Universal <strong>reported total assets of 321.519 billion bolivars, equivalent to US$585.3 million,</strong> representing year-on-year increases of 830.2 % and 62.3 %, respectively, both above the average for other banks.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">This performance allowed the institution <strong>to advance to seventh place in the asset ranking </strong>from eighth position a year earlier, with a market share of 3.93 %.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">To date, the <strong>UCV community</strong> 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.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">“Now, <strong>with Bancamiga’s support, a complete migration to Google’s global infrastructure will begin.</strong> 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.</p>
<p><img decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-121811 size-full" src="https://bitfinance.news/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/Imagen-referencial-B-Para-DLL.jpg" alt="" width="1100" height="610" srcset="https://bitfinance.news/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/Imagen-referencial-B-Para-DLL.jpg 1100w, https://bitfinance.news/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/Imagen-referencial-B-Para-DLL-300x166.jpg 300w, https://bitfinance.news/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/Imagen-referencial-B-Para-DLL-1024x568.jpg 1024w, https://bitfinance.news/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/Imagen-referencial-B-Para-DLL-768x426.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1100px) 100vw, 1100px" /></p>
<h3 style="text-align: left;">Impact and transformation</h3>
<p style="text-align: justify;">This digital transformation will completely eliminate dependence on hardware and constant software updates, drastically reducing high server maintenance costs.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">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.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Under a single institutional identity, the university community will be able to guarantee access to the system from anywhere in the world.</p>
<h4 style="text-align: left;">The donation also included the reactivation of the air conditioning system at the Radio, Television, and Multimedia Management office</h4>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The direct impact of this corporate social responsibility contribution from <a href="https://www.instagram.com/bancamiga/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Bancamiga</a> 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.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The project&#8217;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.</p>
<h3 style="text-align: left;">Infrastructure restoration</h3>
<p style="text-align: justify;">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.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">With this strategic alliance, <strong>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&#8217;s sustainable human development.</strong></p>

<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>José Simón Elarba,</strong> Chairman of the Board of Directors of Bancamiga, welcomed the attendees, emphasizing the institution&#8217;s commitment to regional economic growth and its social commitment to Venezuelans.</p>
<figure id="attachment_121475" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-121475" style="width: 1000px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img decoding="async" class="wp-image-121475 size-full" src="https://bitfinance.news/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/Jose-Simon-Elarba-Presidente-JD-Bancamiga-Imagen-referencial-que-acompana-el-texto.jpg" alt="" width="1000" height="562" srcset="https://bitfinance.news/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/Jose-Simon-Elarba-Presidente-JD-Bancamiga-Imagen-referencial-que-acompana-el-texto.jpg 1000w, https://bitfinance.news/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/Jose-Simon-Elarba-Presidente-JD-Bancamiga-Imagen-referencial-que-acompana-el-texto-300x169.jpg 300w, https://bitfinance.news/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/Jose-Simon-Elarba-Presidente-JD-Bancamiga-Imagen-referencial-que-acompana-el-texto-768x432.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-121475" class="wp-caption-text">José Simón Elarba</figcaption></figure>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">He explained that the bank organizes these forums because, since 2019, the country has witnessed the resilience and ability of Venezuelans to overcome adversity. Despite the challenges, they have developed initiatives to move forward. &#8220;That&#8217;s where Bancamiga&#8217;s idea began: to connect the dreams, aspirations, ideas, and projects of entrepreneurs with experts who can help them grow,&#8221; he stated.</p>
<p><em>Video on Instagram: <strong><a href="https://www.instagram.com/reel/DYVMnfmKpz-/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">https://www.instagram.com/reel/DYVMnfmKpz-/</a></strong></em></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Elarba highlighted that<strong> <a href="https://www.bancamiga.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Bancamiga&#8217;s</a> goal is to provide not only financial services but also the knowledge necessary for each entrepreneur to scale their business and contribute to the well-being of their community.</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The event had the strategic support of the <strong>Monagas Entrepreneurship Development Fund (Fondeem)</strong> and the <strong>Emprender Juntos</strong> platform, represented by its president and state coordinator, <strong>Gabriel Oleggini,</strong> who highlighted <strong>the importance of public-private partnerships to boost the local economy.</strong></p>
<h3 style="text-align: left;">High-level agenda</h3>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The forum offered a comprehensive training program, covering everything from strategic vision to technological innovation. <strong>Mauricio Parilli,</strong> Director of Aprendo y Emprendo (Learn and Start Up), kicked off the day with the presentation <strong>&#8220;Building Sustainable Businesses,&#8221;</strong> urging entrepreneurs to generate economic, social, and environmental value.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Marketing strategist and speaker <strong>Isa Bermúdez</strong> captivated the audience with <strong>&#8220;The Voice of Your Brand: Communicating with Impact,&#8221;</strong> providing key insights for differentiating businesses in a competitive market.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">For his part, economist <strong>Jesús Palacios</strong> presented &#8220;Business Opportunities in Venezuela,&#8221; offering a clear vision of the trends and growth possibilities in the current context.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The forum&#8217;s closing session was led by <strong>Joco González,</strong> a digital business specialist, who spoke on the <strong>&#8220;Strategic Use of Artificial Intelligence,&#8221;</strong> equipping attendees with cutting-edge tools to optimize their processes.</p>
<h3 style="text-align: left;">Boosting entrepreneurship</h3>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Monagas is one of the states where the entrepreneurial movement is strongest nationwide.</strong> Gabriel Oleggini, President of Fondeem, noted that <strong>the state has 37,000 registered entrepreneurs, 61 % of whom are women.</strong> &#8220;It&#8217;s a very interesting dynamic that allows us to develop the productive forces of our state,&#8221; he added.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The forum held in Monagas reaffirms Bancamiga&#8217;s corporate social responsibility policy. Bancamiga offers various training options for people with business initiatives and published the <strong>Entrepreneur&#8217;s Manual,</strong> outlining the steps to turn business ideas into reality.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">And the entrepreneurs… “They also have access to the agency teams, who advise them on products and services, and to Bancamiga&#8217;s financing so they can scale and become business owners,” emphasized José Simón Elarba.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">This strategic alliance has enabled the modernization of equipment, infrastructure improvements, and the strengthening of surgical capacity at one of the country&#8217;s most important healthcare centers, benefiting thousands of people who visit this medical institution, Elarba adds.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">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.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>&#8220;Bancamiga&#8217;s</strong> 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,&#8221; emphasizes the Chairman of the Bank&#8217;s Board of Directors.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">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.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">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.</p>
<p><img decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-121421 " src="https://bitfinance.news/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/Imagen-referencial-para-acompanar-el-cuerpo-de-la-nota.jpg" alt="" width="756" height="569" srcset="https://bitfinance.news/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/Imagen-referencial-para-acompanar-el-cuerpo-de-la-nota.jpg 563w, https://bitfinance.news/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/Imagen-referencial-para-acompanar-el-cuerpo-de-la-nota-300x226.jpg 300w, https://bitfinance.news/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/Imagen-referencial-para-acompanar-el-cuerpo-de-la-nota-86x64.jpg 86w" sizes="(max-width: 756px) 100vw, 756px" /></p>
<h3 style="text-align: left;">Ongoing support</h3>
<p style="text-align: justify;">In 2024, <a href="https://www.instagram.com/bancamiga/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Bancamiga&#8217;s</a> 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.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">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.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">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.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">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.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">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.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">“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.</p>
<h3 style="text-align: left;">A human focus</h3>
<p style="text-align: justify;">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.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">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.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The book serves as a record of the gatherings held in 2024 and 2025, when renowned figures such as <strong>Massimo Bottura, Norbert Niederkofler, and Andoni Luis Aduriz visited Venezuela.</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Through the narrative of journalists and chroniclers <strong>Nahir Márquez, Giuliana Chiappe, Rubén Rojas, and Larissa Hernández,</strong> the work intertwines the visit of these global icons with the vibrancy of the national scene.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Regarding the significance of this launch, the Chairman of the Board of Directors of Bancamiga, <strong>José Simón Elarba,</strong> stated that “for our organization, ‘Flavors of the Soul’ represents a necessary record of what we can achieve when strategic vision is combined with a passion for excellence. This project has been conceived with the same rigor as the preparation of a great dish, where different elements and areas of work converge to leave a lasting testament to our management capabilities and commitment to culture.”</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">She stated that<strong> “at Bancamiga, we believe in experiences that leave a lasting impression. We trust in the value of bringing together people who share a way of seeing the world, enjoying it, and transforming it. Gastronomy, in that sense, has been a natural territory for expressing who we are and where we want to go.”</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">For Elarba, the book is an invitation to sit down at the table, to listen to the stories told through flavors, and to understand that <strong>when you work with purpose and sensitivity, even seemingly disparate worlds can engage in harmonious dialogue.</strong> Because in the end, “both in the kitchen and in life, what truly matters is sharing what we are passionate about and enjoying it.”</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">During the presentation this Thursday at Quinta Esmeralda in Campo Alegre, <strong>Claudia Acosta,</strong> Country Manager of Mastercard Venezuela, maintained that the book, Flavors of the Soul, is a testament to Mastercard&#8217;s commitment to Venezuelan culture.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Journalist and writer <strong>Giuliana Chiappe</strong> highlighted the importance of this publication in showcasing the richness that defines the country&#8217;s identity. Its fundamental value lies in uniting a love for culinary heritage and projecting the essence of Venezuelan society in a high-quality physical format.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">&#8220;I think it&#8217;s wonderful that Bancamiga is producing a book like this, a book that endures, a book that remains, a printed book, a book that tells the story of who we are,&#8221; she stated during her remarks.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The work is not limited to a compilation of recipes; it also analyzes the artistic process and the fieldwork carried out &#8220;from scratch.&#8221; According to Chiappe, the final result is a testament to <strong>a sector that has achieved a &#8220;very high level,&#8221; positioning itself</strong> as a benchmark capable of attracting the top chefs of the<strong> Michelin Guide.</strong></p>
<figure id="attachment_121359" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-121359" style="width: 900px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img decoding="async" class="wp-image-121359 size-full" src="https://bitfinance.news/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/Giuliana-Chiappe.jpg" alt="Journalist and writer Giuliana Chiappe, co-author of the book" width="900" height="506" srcset="https://bitfinance.news/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/Giuliana-Chiappe.jpg 900w, https://bitfinance.news/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/Giuliana-Chiappe-300x169.jpg 300w, https://bitfinance.news/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/Giuliana-Chiappe-768x432.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-121359" class="wp-caption-text">Journalist and writer Giuliana Chiappe, co-author of the book</figcaption></figure>
<h3 style="text-align: left;">A bridge between origins and the global sphere</h3>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Flavors of the Soul not only highlights international presence but also delves into the culinary offerings of four chefs leading the way in Caracas: <strong>José Antonio Casanova</strong> at Toro, <strong>Claudia Crisante</strong> at Vizio, <strong>Issam Koteich</strong> at Cordero, and <strong>Juan Hernáez </strong><em>at Bocca Di Lupo.</em></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Hernáez emphasized the importance of this institutional initiative within the context of the sector&#8217;s recovery, praising the effort to gather information and showcase the industry&#8217;s work in recent years. His approach at Bocca Di Lupo, which focuses on fusing Italian immigrant traditions with local products, exemplifies the richness of the gastronomic identity that the project seeks to protect.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">&#8220;For me, it&#8217;s quite important, given the context Venezuela has experienced in recent years, that we are now not only seeing a recovery but that companies like Bancamiga are dedicated to gathering information and organizing these kinds of events,&#8221; he added.</p>
<figure id="attachment_121358" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-121358" style="width: 900px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img decoding="async" class="wp-image-121358 size-full" src="https://bitfinance.news/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/Santiago-Fernandez.jpg" alt="Chef Santiago Fernández, a Venezuelan with two Michelin stars, from the Maz restaurant in Tokyo" width="900" height="506" srcset="https://bitfinance.news/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/Santiago-Fernandez.jpg 900w, https://bitfinance.news/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/Santiago-Fernandez-300x169.jpg 300w, https://bitfinance.news/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/Santiago-Fernandez-768x432.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-121358" class="wp-caption-text">Chef Santiago Fernández, a Venezuelan with two Michelin stars, from the Maz restaurant in Tokyo</figcaption></figure>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>&#8220;Sabores del Alma&#8221; also pays homage to the Venezuelan diaspora of talent that now boasts Michelin stars abroad</strong>, including <strong>Ricardo Chaneton</strong> (Mono, Hong Kong), <strong>Santiago Fernández</strong> (Maz, Tokyo), and <strong>Enrique Limardo</strong> (Seven Reasons, Washington, D.C.).</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">This, the third book from the <strong>Bancamiga Publishing Fund,</strong> following &#8220;Historias Repetibles&#8221; and &#8220;Manual para Emprendedores,&#8221; recognizes in its structure that haute cuisine is unviable without respect for its origins. Therefore, it dedicates a significant portion to the artisans of the product: <strong>Pilar Cabrera</strong> (Casa Mejillón), <strong>Miguel Rodríguez (</strong>Herencia Divina), <strong>Carlos Bejarano (</strong>Urbánico), and <strong>Octavio Teruel</strong> (Vegetales Marinos).</p>
<figure id="attachment_121357" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-121357" style="width: 900px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img decoding="async" class="wp-image-121357 size-full" src="https://bitfinance.news/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/Paula-Vargas.jpg" alt="Paula Vargas, VP of Marketing at Bancamiga, led the multidisciplinary editorial team" width="900" height="506" srcset="https://bitfinance.news/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/Paula-Vargas.jpg 900w, https://bitfinance.news/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/Paula-Vargas-300x169.jpg 300w, https://bitfinance.news/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/Paula-Vargas-768x432.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-121357" class="wp-caption-text">Paula Vargas, VP of Marketing at Bancamiga, led the multidisciplinary editorial team</figcaption></figure>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Conceived under the premise that creating a book emulates preparing a dish, <strong>this work blends technique, sensory memory, and organizational management.</strong> Ultimately, it is <strong>a necessary record of Venezuela&#8217;s capacity to generate world-class experiences through the universal language of food.</strong></p>
<figure id="attachment_121362" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-121362" style="width: 664px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img decoding="async" class="wp-image-121362 size-full" src="https://bitfinance.news/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/Imagen-referencial-libro.jpg" alt="In addition to the printed version, its content can also be accessed digitally" width="664" height="431" srcset="https://bitfinance.news/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/Imagen-referencial-libro.jpg 664w, https://bitfinance.news/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/Imagen-referencial-libro-300x195.jpg 300w, https://bitfinance.news/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/Imagen-referencial-libro-210x136.jpg 210w" sizes="(max-width: 664px) 100vw, 664px" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-121362" class="wp-caption-text">In addition to the printed version, its content can also be accessed digitally</figcaption></figure>

<p style="text-align: justify;">“This card stems from the conviction that enjoyment, when well-thought-out, can also be a form of cultural connection. More than a tool, it is an invitation to explore culinary offerings that prioritize discernment, quality, and emotion, reinforcing that silent bond between those who create, those who accompany, and those who sit at the table with genuine interest,” stated <strong>José Simón Elarba,</strong> Chairman of the Board of Directors of Bancamiga.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Bancamiga and Mastercard launched this Passion Card to a select group of clients, <strong>ahead of the presentation this Thursday of the book *Flavors of the Soul*,</strong> in which Elarba writes that “at Bancamiga, we believe in experiences that leave a lasting impression. We trust in the value of bringing together people who share a way of seeing the world, enjoying it, and transforming it. Gastronomy, in that sense, has been a natural territory for expressing who we are and where we want to go.”</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">For <strong>Claudia Acosta,</strong> Country Manager of Mastercard Venezuela, this is not just another card, “but a key to a world of flavors and unforgettable experiences. With it, cardholders access exclusive experiences through <strong>Priceless.com.”</strong></p>

<h3 style="text-align: left;">Global passions with local flavor</h3>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The Sabores del Alma debit card offers Mastercard benefits including promotions, exclusive passes with chefs and at world-class restaurants, a curated guide to restaurants around the world, and the opportunity for cardholders to receive incentives on their account when dining at the country&#8217;s most prestigious restaurants.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">It also features<strong> discounts on premium dining packages through Mastercard Collection, travel benefits, and preferential access to VIP lounges at airports worldwide.</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>“This <a href="https://www.instagram.com/bancamiga/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Bancamiga</a> card is the embodiment of one of our most vibrant passions: gastronomy.</strong> Our shared vision with Bancamiga offers <strong>access to the Priceless in Venezuela.</strong> In a country where gastronomy unites generations through tradition, this Passion Card invites everyone to<strong> experience global passions with local flavor,”</strong> added Acosta.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">More than just offering benefits, this exclusive product from the <strong>Flavors of the Soul</strong> initiative is an invitation to explore a world where aromas evoke roots and every detail is designed for those seeking to give profound meaning to every experience.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">On its way to its<strong> first 20 years, Bancamiga</strong> demonstrates that the fundamental pillar of its security originates from the highest corporate levels. Its<strong> Board of Directors</strong>, chaired by <strong>Dr. José Simón Elarba,</strong> has prioritized and invested heavily in <strong>compliance and prevention,</strong> demonstrating a proactive commitment to protecting the bank against global challenges. There is a total commitment to the Prevention and Control of Money Laundering, Terrorist Financing, and the Financing of the Proliferation of Weapons of Mass Destruction.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>“The support, vision, and investment of the Board of Directors, make all the difference operationally. It is a declaration of principles that allows us to act with complete independence, state-of-the-art resources, and the utmost rigor,”</strong> Elarba stated.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">This commitment and leadership have <strong>a single, non-negotiable objective: to safeguard depositors&#8217; assets with the seriousness, responsibility, and respect that their trust deserves.</strong></p>
<h3 style="text-align: left;">A driving force for prevention</h3>
<p style="text-align: justify;">To achieve this level of asset protection, the institution maintains<strong> a robust and constantly evolving Integrated Risk Management System (IRMS). This set of policies, rules, and procedures serves as the core of the bank&#8217;s &#8220;institutional shield,&#8221; enabling the proactive identification, measurement, control, and mitigation of any exposure,</strong> ensuring financial traceability in every transaction across the network.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><a href="https://bitfinance.news/en/mercosur-to-consider-venezuelas-reincorporation/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Bancamiga&#8217;s </a>prevention architecture is being adapted to international standards, necessary for operating in the global banking environment,<strong> guaranteeing that its anti-money laundering policies are perfectly aligned with best practices and guidelines from developed countries.</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>In the national regulatory sphere,</strong> Bancamiga&#8217;s operations are adapted to all current prudential regulations. Compliance with these regulations will allow Bancamiga to consistently exceed the parameters required by the regulatory body, demonstrating a <strong>zero-tolerance policy toward irregular transactions.</strong></p>
<h3 style="text-align: left;">Technological and process modernization</h3>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Its <strong>Integrated Risk Management System</strong> has undergone a profound modernization process, redesigning its workflows to make them more agile, efficient, and robust in the face of the new dynamics of the digital economy. However, the best technology requires the most specialized human talent.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">For the past two consecutive years, Bancamiga has implemented an ambitious training and awareness program for its staff. This ongoing effort has placed special emphasis on strengthening prevention and control units, ensuring that the bank&#8217;s daily operations are handled by<strong> highly trained, career experts.</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">This deep commitment to compliance has a clear goal: to <strong>position Bancamiga as a global benchmark of trust.</strong></p>
