The Interests Section of Cuba in Washington already found a bank, thus overcoming another obstacle to the resumption of bilateral relations with the United States, according to sources from the State Department.
The source declined to specify the name of the bank where the Cuban legation will have its accounts, because she felt that it corresponds to the Cuban government and the bank to make the announcement.
Currently, the Interests Section of Cuba in Washington, which is expected to become the embassy of the island, has no bank accounts because of the difficulties arising from the US economic embargo. The legation had previously had bank accounts at the M&T, but this entity closed them last year.
Since then the Interests Section of Cuba in Washington could not find a bank to manage its accounts to ensure its normal operation and to provide full consular services. This forced Cuba to operate with cash.
