Michael lleg\u00f3 a Estados Unidos desde Brasil en 2016, lleno de sue\u00f1os y tambi\u00e9n de incertidumbre. Vivi\u00f3 un tiempo en Florida, pero fue en Charlotte, Carolina del Norte, donde comenz\u00f3 a echar ra\u00edces. En su b\u00fasqueda por abrir una cuenta bancaria, se dio cuenta de que los bancos tradicionales no estaban dise\u00f1ados pensando en personas como \u00e9l. Fue entonces cuando, por recomendaci\u00f3n de otros, encontr\u00f3 la Cooperativa Latina. No tard\u00f3 en notar la diferencia. Aqu\u00ed no solo encontr\u00f3 un lugar donde guardar su dinero: encontr\u00f3 cercan\u00eda, respeto y un trato verdaderamente personal. Su primer producto fue una cuenta de ahorros. M\u00e1s tarde, obtuvo su primer pr\u00e9stamo para un carro. Con el tiempo, financi\u00f3 su casa y consolid\u00f3 su confianza en la cooperativa, un lugar donde se siente visto, escuchado y valorado.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Michael no solo ha crecido como socio, tambi\u00e9n como empresario. Se dedica a comprar y vender carros, camiones y maquinaria de construcci\u00f3n, y sue\u00f1a con abrir una cuenta de negocios con la cooperativa que le permita expandir su negocio y servir mejor a la comunidad. \u201cSi como persona me ayudaron con mi carro y mi casa, s\u00e9 que tambi\u00e9n me apoyar\u00e1n como empresario,\u201d afirma con convicci\u00f3n.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Su relaci\u00f3n con el equipo de la sucursal Charlotte Meridian es m\u00e1s que financiera, es familiar. Conoce a cada persona, comparte sus logros, y siempre entra con una sonrisa. Nos cuenta sobre sus hijos, su esposa, y c\u00f3mo juntos han salido adelante, incluso durante la pandemia. Su esposa tambi\u00e9n es emprendedora, y gracias al apoyo de la cooperativa, lograron comprar su segunda casa y un terreno para construir. Michael no guarda todo esto para s\u00ed. Recomienda la cooperativa a amigos, familiares y clientes. \u201cEste Instituci\u00f3n financiera fue creado para nosotros. Aqu\u00ed te entienden, te ayudan, te abren caminos que en otros lados no existen,\u201d dice con orgullo. Y cuando particip\u00f3 en una sesi\u00f3n de escucha con la cooperativa, lo hizo con el deseo genuino de aportar ideas que ayuden a mejorar y a crecer, especialmente en lo que se refiere a productos para negocios.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Para Michael, ser socio de la Cooperativa Latina es una oportunidad \u00fanica. Sabe que no todas las personas tienen acceso a un banco que realmente los represente. Por eso, sigue apostando por nosotros, con la certeza de que aqu\u00ed siempre encontrar\u00e1 una mano amiga. \u201csi algo nos pasa, la cooperativa va a pelear por nosotros. En otros bancos, no somos nada. Pero aqu\u00ed, yo s\u00e9 que me van a ayudar. Siempre lo han hecho.\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
