The Benacerraf Family: Three Generations in the Banking World
Following in Ackers' footsteps, the Benacerraf family has made a significant impact on the Venezuelan banking sector for three generations. In the 1940s, they created Banco Unión alongside Salvador Salvatierra. They worked together until 1997 when the Fondo Común era began, a savings and loan institution that, under the Benacerraf family's leadership, evolved into a universal bank.
