PHILIPSBURG, Sint Maarten – El lder del Partido Popular Unido, el diputado Rolando Brison, ve como un buen primer paso la iniciativa del Banco Central de implementar un lmite de 10 das para la apertura de cuentas bancarias para todas las personas fsicas. No creo que sea una coincidencia que solo unos meses despus de que se aprobara la mocin de proteccin de la banca del consumidor y se enviara la ley de iniciativa para la proteccin de la banca del consumidor a CBCS para su investigacin, vemos elementos de esta ley que se implementan en la prctica.
El MP seal que el acuerdo entre CBCS y la Asociacin de Banqueros para implementar un lmite de 10 das para la apertura de una cuenta bancaria bsica para personas naturales parece ser una copia del artculo 2 inciso 1 del Proyecto de Ley.

The MP pointed out that the agreement between CBCS and the Bankers Association to implement a 10-day limit for opening a basic bank account for natural persons seems to be a copy of Article 2 sub 1 of the Draft Law.
