Потерял доступ к 82% моих денег в Парагвае с 3 ноября 2026

Summary

On November 3, 2026, the narrator says Paraguay’s government suspended Ueno Bank’s operations. He reports that the bank’s app and cards stopped working, branches and ATMs were closed, and police guarded at least one branch.

He says he could not access roughly 82% of his money in Paraguay, including funds held in Ueno investment products. This is a personal account; the narrator’s claims about the bank’s financial condition are not independently verified here.

Financial impact and timeline

• The narrator says Ueno had been his main Paraguayan bank. He had several thousand US dollars, several million guaraníes, and additional investments in dollars and guaraníes there; exact balances are not given.
• He says he kept only minimum balances in his other Paraguayan bank accounts to qualify for free account or card services. He cites a monthly fee of 220,000 guaraníes (about US$45) and mentions keeping roughly 1 million, 2 million, and 3 million guaraníes across different accounts.
• His rent was due that day. His manager reportedly gave him until the following Monday, while he tried to find a way to fund a local account by Friday.
• According to information he says was circulating that afternoon, the government had until November 17–18 to decide what to do about Ueno. He expected access to, or claims for, investments might take until around November 20–25, depending on how quickly the process moved.
• He says a state guarantee for eligible bank deposits was 75 minimum wages, which he estimated at more than 200 million guaraníes, or over US$40,000 per bank, if its license were revoked. He distinguishes this from investment products, whose recovery he says was uncertain.

Bank and market details mentioned

• The narrator says Ueno had offered international SWIFT transfers, digitally received Western Union transfers, ATMs, payment links, POS terminals, QR-code payments, deposits, and investment products.
• He describes payments and conversions involving US dollars, euros, Brazilian reais, and Argentine pesos, as well as local-currency payments in Paraguay and QR payment systems in Brazil, Peru, Chile, Argentina, and Uruguay.
• He says Ueno offered deposit products with rates of almost 10% per year for a one-year term. The subtitles render the product name inconsistently, so the exact product is unclear.
• Investments mentioned include shares, bonds, and funds denominated in dollars or guaraníes.
• Other banks named as places where he held small balances include Zeta Bank, Continental Bank, Atlas Bank, Basa Bank, and Itaú. No stock tickers or ETFs are mentioned.

Allegations and cautions

• The narrator says speculation about a possible financial-pyramid scheme arose because, according to reports he saw, the bank’s recorded liabilities were much larger than the money believed to be available.
• He also says the bank’s senior management and owners had been arrested and international warrants issued. These are reported allegations in the video, not verified findings.
• He says some depositors reportedly damaged branches after being denied entry.
• The narrator stresses that his Ueno investments may not receive the same protection as bank deposits. He planned to preserve app screenshots and screen recordings and possibly travel to Asunción to file a claim.
