Banco Popular Dominicano’s commitment to driving the market forward with a mix of innovative strategies and sustainable initiatives is reflected in the country’s swift recovery following the pandemic as it looks towards continued leadership in the sector

The pandemic served to push many bank customers towards digital channels and while many were well-prepared for this, others were left scrambling to modernise their offerings. In this new post pandemic environment, fintechs continue to attract huge investment allowing them to compete with traditional banks. This has led to big changes in the industry.

With a steadfast commitment to its customers, Banco Popular Dominicano has always been a frontrunner when it comes to technological innovation

After a year like no other, banking is accelerating its evolution to meet new and heightened expectations. It is without doubt that a recovery in the market to pre-pandemic levels will take time, but some banks are in a better position than others to meet the challenges ahead

The pandemic saw digital transactions reach 87 percent of all operations for the Dominican bank, says Francisco Ramirez
