Caixa Económica de Cabo Verde (Caixa) participated in the renowned Emigrants' Meeting, organized by the São Filipe City Council as part of the Nhô San Filipe 2025 Flag Festival celebrations.

Held on 28 April 2025 at the Ocean View Hotel (Sea Food), the event provided a platform for Caixa to showcase its tailored offerings for the emigrant community, with special emphasis on the launch of its new exclusive service, ‘Western Union Direct to Account’.

The Caixa team, comprising the Administrator, Dr. Julia Ferreira; the Southern Commercial Director, Dr. Denise Santos; the Marketing Office Coordinator, Dr. Helder Luz; and the Manager of the Fogo and Brava Branches, Dr. Kátia Pinheiro – had the opportunity to engage directly with emigrants and present the benefits of the new service.

‘Western Union Direct to Account’ allows Caixa customers to receive and send money quickly and securely via a simple phone call to a toll-free number or via the WhatsApp and Viber apps, and the amounts are debited/credited directly to the customer's account.’

This launch reflects the institution's commitment to meeting the specific needs of this important segment and is aimed at facilitating financial transactions for emigrants, providing greater convenience in sending and receiving remittances, while safeguarding security.
