📊 A fee schedule that comes as a bucket of cold water
Venezuela’s Federation of Banking and Related Workers (Fetrabanca) has spoken out against the fee adjustments authorized by the Central Bank of Venezuela, issuing a warning that is resonating loudly on the streets: ordinary citizens may end up paying for the increase—not just at the bank counter, but in their grocery bills. In a country where practically everyone has an account—banking coverage is around 98.5%—any change in fees is felt immediately in everyday life.
