Best Bank: Banco Popular Dominicano |
It was another good year for Banco Popular Dominicano, whose retail and small companies business increased. Assets were up by 12% over 2008, and the net loans portfolio rose by 10.5% mainly as a result of increased interest payments from small and medium-sized companies, and from home equity loans.
At points over the past year, assets even exceeded those at government-backed Banco de Reservas.
