by For Camilo Atala Faraj, the financial crisis brought Ficohsa Group opportunities for expansion. The sale of global banking operations in Central America helped to strengthen and position the banks in the region.

Mobility era has brought new opportunities
Atala said that the era of mobility has brought new opportunities, and for this reason, banks must offer the most important services through mobile services, so that the user can access them at the very moment he or she has the need.
“We maintain innovation and technology as key axes of the various services we offer, which has allowed us to easily adapt to the needs of this generation. The digital platform, non-bank correspondents and mobile applications are some of the innovative services we are offering in response to the new demands,” concluded Atala.
