The inclusion of Fincimex in the list of restricted entities of the US State Department in June last, as well as the Treasury Department’s modifications to the regulations for the control of Cuban assets announced on Friday, October 23, will prevent remittances to Cuba through US companies with general licenses, which will directly harm the Cuban people and their relatives in the US. Doing so in the middle of a pandemic corroborates the US government’s cynicism, opportunism and contempt for the Cuban people. For more than 20 years, with professionalism and respect, Financiera Cimex S.A. has guaranteed commercial relations with companies from the US and elsewhere in the world to manage remittances to Cuba. In all these years, never has this company had to account for a single cent missing. Quite on the contrary, all its services have continued to grow, despite the pressures and aggressions against banking transactions. Family remittances to Cuba have been continuously politicized by the anti-Cuban extreme right. As from September, 2019, the US government has been applying coercive measures to restrict remittances.
