Furna is still waiting for an ATM that was announced six months ago, but the equipment remains inoperable.

According to some residents, the population learned, through the social media of the Brava Municipal Council (CMB), that the local authority had fulfilled its commitment to the locality by installing the equipment.

However, approximately six months after the announcement, the ATM remains out of service, leaving residents without access to a banking service that could significantly facilitate their daily lives.

For some residents, there is a difference between announcing the installation of equipment and ensuring that it is actually available for public use.

However, people familiar with how these services work raise a question about institutional responsibilities, arguing that the installation, activation, and management of ATMs are, as a rule, the responsibility of financial institutions, and not directly of municipal councils.

In this context, it is important to clarify what the actual role of the Brava Municipal Council was in the process, which financial institution was responsible for the equipment, and what explains the delay in its becoming operational.

The residents of Furna are now awaiting clarification and, above all, a solution that will allow the announcement to become a reality.

Ultimately, for residents, the important thing is not just having an ATM installed, but being able to use it.
