The Superintendencia de Bancos (SB) of the Dominican Republic has expanded its digital offerings to enhance transparency and data accessibility.

Initially, the agency launched ‘Cronología SB’, a digital micro-portal designed to preserve the institution’s historical memory and the evolution of the national financial system since 1947. This archive provides access to statistical data, regulations, and historical press publications.

Following this, the SB introduced a new tool within its Simbad statistical platform. This tool allows users to compare interest rates for new loans by filtering for specific criteria such as financial entity, credit type, term, and economic sector. The update also included a new methodology for the credit card cost index and improvements to the Financial Conditions Index (ICF) to track national financial conditions.
