Cashea has more than 10 million consumer accounts, a figure equivalent to more than half of Venezuela’s adult population, and a network of 40,000 stores nationwide.
The announcement comes just weeks after dual earthquakes struck Venezuela.
In the days that followed the deadly quakes, Cashea waived late fees nationwide, advanced cash to merchants to improve their liquidity, and widened access to credit so that families could begin to replace what they had lost.
