Cuban Banking Workers celebrates their National Day on October 13.

Cuban bank workers celebrate their day every October 13. It was on this date in 1960 that the Cuban Revolutionary Government passed the Bank Nationalization Law.

Bank branch manager Yacelys Rodríguez Guerrero is a woman who has dedicated her life to her work. With 30 years of work at the Popular Savings Bank (BPA), her story feels like that of any person who loves their profession, but it is a reflection of responsibility before work and self-delivery.

Majibacoa, Las Tunas.- "Being the director of BPA Branch 6372, located in the town of Calixto, in the municipality of Majibacoa, with 47 workers under my wings, is a great experience; although I have not had years of work in this position, I started at my 21 years here as a sales representative.

"I felt comfortable in those roles because it is a job of constant interaction with the public, I knew how to treat people and I felt useful in advising them, guiding them, providing them with the different services and products that our facilities offer.

"In the 2000s I started working as an accounting manager, I was in charge of accounting, human resources, very important functions in addition to serving as a school."

Bank branch manager Yacelis Rodríguez Guerrero.At over fifty years old, she feels that all the banking restructuring process that the country has experienced is fundamental to the socio-economic development of the nation. This is one of those moments when she remembers her commercial stage and interacts with the public again to explain its relevance because it has been functioning for some time.

"We have tried to bring this digital progress within our institutions to everyone; first we started to train the banking staff, then all the organizations in the area, as well as the self-employed. We also reached the farmers with the participation of BPA employees in the associates' assemblies; now we are continuing with the MSMEs."

They also take advantage of the space they have in the meetings with the directors of each organization, they attend the union meetings to train the workers, and they reach the queues that take place on payment days for retirees so that the elderly do not feel excluded.

Making all these responsibilities more bearable is something she has achieved through experience, getting closer to her workers and making them feel at home. "In Branch 6372, we feel like a family, one person's problem belongs to all of us, we are a united collective; this is based on respect and the awareness that the work must be done, and done well".
