\u201cThere are four reasons for transparency so people can find out what\u2019s going on. Firstly, educational. It benefits the bank\u2019s staff to get used to the fact that everything that happens will be published. The tradition in banking is that no one talks or analyses their mistakes out loud. It would be logical for everyone in the bank to be aware of the abuses that occur and how they are sanctioned, the reasons for dismissals, and so on. Transparency is a good school for human formation. You can\u2019t go through life being naive.<\/em><\/p>\n

Secondly, for control. Because people wrongly believe that mistakes discredit them, no one wants their failures to be exposed. This attitude costs the bank a lot of money because mistakes continue to be made. The ongoing policy of transparency, supported by the rapid transfer of\u00a0 information provided by computers, helps to improve income and avoid many cases of loss of earnings.<\/em><\/p>\n

A defensive reason. Rumor is a formidable weapon in the hands of adversaries in banking. Ours is a \u00a0profession which is very vulnerable to rumor. For that reason, there is no better antidote against rumors than transparency. That\u2019s why we have given an immediate and sufficient explanation every time there is an incident in the bank. We must be faster than the phone in order to prevent exaggerated comments and classic misunderstandings.<\/em><\/p>\n

And finally, an informative one. Every president is subject to the insulation of those around him, of his immediate circle. Kennedy complained about having to find out through the press about problems that his services and, on occasion, his own government concealed from him. For the shareholder and the board of directors, it\u2019s important to be able to follow the bank\u2019s progress; what goes well and what goes wrong. For both, there must be no surprises. In banking, you have to know how to react in time rather than not wanting to make mistakes. A problem can stop being a problem simply by being detected at its beginning.\u201d<\/em>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”padding-1-percent” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”top” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/3″ tablet_width_inherit=”small_desktop” animation_type=”default” enable_animation=”true” animation=”fade-in-from-bottom” animation_easing=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” delay=”100″][vc_wp_custommenu nav_menu=”37″ title=”HUMANIST” el_class=”menu-lateral”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_background” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” equal_height=”yes” content_placement=”top” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” top_padding=”0%” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overflow=”visible” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” gradient_type=”default” shape_type=””][vc_column top_padding_desktop=”10″ bottom_padding_desktop=”10″ left_padding_desktop=”0″ right_padding_desktop=”0″ column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” column_padding_type=”advanced” gradient_type=”default”][vc_gallery css=”” type=”flickity_static_height_style” images=”7648,11984″ flickity_spacing=”5px” flickity_controls=”none” flickity_overflow=”visible” flickity_wrap_around=”no-wrap” flickity_box_shadow=”none” image_loading=”default” display_title_caption=”true” onclick=”link_image” flickity_img_height=”600″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_background” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”90px” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” top_padding=”2%” bottom_padding=”2%” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overflow=”visible” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” shape_type=”” gradient_type=”default”][vc_column column_padding=”padding-1-percent” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”top” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/3″ tablet_width_inherit=”small_desktop” animation_type=”default” enable_animation=”true” animation=”fade-in-from-bottom” animation_easing=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” delay=”100″][vc_column_text css=”” text_direction=”default” el_class=”titulo-parrafo-contenido”]\n
