One day there was a significant number of ATMs around Tulipán street, in the Havana neighborhood of Nuevo Vedado. The nearby Ejército Juvenil del Trabajo (EJT) market, which attracts not only local residents but also buyers from other municipalities due to its lower prices and the availability of wholesale purchases, made them necessary.
In addition to Tulipán street itself, there were more ATMs on the ground floor of the Ministry of Transportation and in the Banco Metropolitano on Conill street, plus an exchange house (Cadeca), which in its time exchanged the non-existent convertible pesos (CUC). .
All these machines deteriorated, broke down and, therefore, disappeared, without the authorities doing anything to replace them.
All these machines deteriorated, broke down, and therefore disappeared, without the authorities doing anything to replace them. To such an extent, that the residents of Nuevo Vedado have to travel to other neighborhoods such as El Vedado, Centro Habana or even Old Havana to withdraw cash.
These days, they have been surprised, seeing posters that warn of the reinstallation of ATMs on Tulipán street. Along with the name of the agency, the Central Bank of Cuba, the papers boast: “Made in China.” People do not know, because the end of the work has not been announced, when these machines will be ready, but, for the moment, they smile suspiciously at the paper.
