Honduras. Banco Popular is one of the pioneer banks in the Honduran financial system to implement biometric devices in their security systems.
For the banking sector, the security of the information that is managed on a daily basis is fundamental. Biometrics systems allow individual and accurate authentication, based on certain physiological patterns, previously digitized and stored (fingerprints and face).
Banco Popular, in addition to using biometrics to identify its customers, uses it to increase security in cash handling processes.
This biometrics system, which is implemented in the 24 agencies of Banco Popular nationwide, is state-of-the-art technology and the operating mechanism is that the client only has to put his finger on the biometric device to be identified.
Banco Popular is the first Honduran bank specialized in microfinance internationally recognized for its leadership in performance, innovation and impact on the social and economic development of the country.
Microfinance in Honduras reflects a behavior similar to that of the rest of the Central American countries, in the sense that they have become a very valid alternative for access to financial services for micro and small entrepreneurs.
