SD. Dozens of clients appeared from the early morning hours yesterday at the headquarters of the Banco Peravia Savings and Credit S. A., in order to claim their deposits, after the Superintendency of Banks announced that this financial entity was in the process of dissolution.
At the principal office, located at Winston Churchill Avenue #77 several clients appeared, in spite of the fact that they were already informed that the Superintendency of Banks had convened the depositors for today. They wanted to go to the bank yesterday and tried to advance the process which would return their money.
Mrs. Cynthia Pimentel said she had a certificate of deposit for RD $450,000 that was 4 years old, and she had requested last October the return of her money, and they always had some story in order not to give her the savings.
"I asked them last October, and I have my letter that says that I requested it, because I want to invest it in something else, and I have been calling and calling since then and they always tell me some story that "Mister So and So" has not signed it and to please call later, and that this appears to be going forward," said Pimentel as she referred to the state of insolvency that the bank has presented.
Pimentel said that initially she decided to save her money at the Banco Peravia, because she had a good reference from a family member, and because they offered an interest rate that was between 12% and 16%.
At the same time another lady who did not want to reveal her name said that she has a certificate for 1.5 million in the Banco Peravia and that she was there to look for her money because as soon as she found out of the dissolution of the financial entity she did not want to waste more time.
"Although the Superintendency has said that it was tomorrow (today) that we had to come to validate our deposits, I came here today (yesterday) because I have to know where we are standing," said the woman who did not identify herself.
Also a team from the Superintendency of Banks, that was there yesterday at the principal office of the financial entity that was in the process of dissolution, told the clients that came yesterday that it is beginning today when they will be receiving them, and they closed the doors of the bank, and placed several notices with information on the glass windows in front of the entity, so that the clients would know the documents that they have to take when they go to validate their deposits.
According to the information of the Superintendency of Banks, as of December 2013 the Banco Peravia had deposits of RD $1.804 billion of which 98.2% belonged to the home sector and 1.57% belonged to the business sector.
According to the Monetary and Financial Law (183 - 02), when the dissolution begins they explain to the depositors of the public in the entities of financial intermediation will be guaranteed by the resources available in the Fund for the amount per depositor of up to RD$500,000 and up to 30% of the total privileged obligations of the financial entity in dissolution.
