## A Monday without tellers: what the calendar says for Sudeban
The Superintendency of the Banking Sector Institutions (Sudeban) confirmed what many merchants already had noted on their agenda: on Monday, September 14, 2026, there will be no public service at agencies or at the tellers of Venezuela’s banking sector. The reason is religious and officially on the calendar: the Day of Our Lady of Coromoto, patroness of Venezuela, is being commemorated.
For the average user, this means you won’t be able to go to a branch to make a cash deposit, withdraw at the teller window, exchange checks, or request personalized assistance. But take note: banking doesn’t shut down entirely. The electronic channels remain operational, and that’s where the Venezuelan crypto and P2P market plays its own game.

📊 A banking warning that the crypto world should listen to
Pedro Pacheco Rodríguez, president of the Banking Association of Venezuela (ABV), has once again pointed to a sore spot that much of the digital ecosystem prefers to avoid: Venezuela remains on the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) grey list since June 2024, and that label is not just a diplomatic formality. According to the industry leader, staying on that list reduces the number of companies willing to import, export, or open accounts linked to the country, and it works as a silent brake on economic growth.
