"This is another step in terms of normalizing commercial relations between the US and Cuba. The ability to move money easily between the two countries will only increase trade and benefit American companies wishing to do business in Cuba," David Seleski, the company's president and CEO, was quoted as saying by the Miami Herald.
On May 20, Stonegate opened an account for the Cuban government, contributing to a thaw in US-Cuba relations.
