Banreservas expansion in Dominican Republic

Entities: Mastercard · Leonardo Aguilera · Ysidro García · Luis Abinader · Banco de Reservas (Banreservas)

Overview

In late July 2026, Banreservas continued its domestic outreach drive. On July 22, the bank opened a new branch inside the Pedro Brand vehicle‑retention center, offering cash services and staff assistance to citizens retrieving seized vehicles. This move was presented as part of an effort to extend convenient banking to more Dominicans, echoing President Luis Abinader’s service‑access goals.

A week later, on July 28, Banreservas partnered with Mastercard to launch the second edition of the Summit Mujer Pymes Banreservas, committing RD$5 billion in financing for women‑led small and medium‑size enterprises at an annual rate of 12.95 %. The initiative raised the bank’s credit portfolio for such firms to RD$32 billion and included free digital training. Both actions illustrate the bank’s broader strategy of expanding its presence and supporting targeted economic groups within the country.
