Popular is Puerto Rico's dominant community bank, offering everyday checking, savings, mortgages, and business loans across the island, mainland US, and Virgin Islands.
Net income grew from USD 0.54B in 2023 to USD 0.83B in 2025, with net margins expanding from 14.41% to 18.81%, driven by steady lending and deposit operations.
Deep local roots since 1893 and 169 branches give Popular a trusted position that mainland banks like Bank of America and Santander struggle to replicate in Puerto Rico.
