Brazilian medical student in Paraguay loses tuition funds after Ueno Bank collapse

g1.globo.com (Portuguese) —

A Brazilian medical student in Paraguay lost access to funds saved for tuition after Ueno Bank collapsed, leaving him unable to pay his monthly fee and risking missed exams. The Central Bank of Paraguay suspended Ueno Bank's operations on November 3 due to financial problems. Reimbursements began November 5, with about 722,000 account holders holding up to 10 million guaranis (R$8,800) eligible for refunds. The student, who lives in Paraguay and works in Brazil, is seeking a salary advance from his employer. He opened the Ueno account to avoid monthly currency conversion fees of R$50 to R$100.
