Banco Popular de Puerto Rico

Most Decent Bank In Puerto Rico

Banco Popular is a decent bank for Puerto Rico residents. It offers a wide array for checking and savings account, which I personally use in my day-to-day life. A lot of people complain about its fees, which, I'll agree, have been steadily rising, but in my particular checking account, the E-Account, which I've had for 7 years, I've only ever encountered one service fee, which was a 0.50 fee for using a check. It was a fee that had been recently instituted and from then on I've learned to avoid check on my account. Compared to national banks, it's nothing to write home about. However, for Puerto Rico residents, it's probably the best option since its the largest bank, which means there is more accessibility to ATM machines. Their mobile app soars over the competing banks. It is a very user-friendly platform that is easy to navigate and allows you to do the basic functions of checking transactions, making payments, and scheduling transfers. Moreover, I lived in New Orleans for five years and I never had any problem using this card in the United States, so it's good to have if you live in Puerto Rico and travel a lot.
