Financial institutions in Bolivia, Spain, and Uruguay have received various industry recognitions for their advancements in digital banking and technological innovation.

In late September 2026, Bolivia’s BancoSol was awarded the ‘Palmera Dorada por Innovación’ at Expocruz 2026 for its ‘altoke’ digital platform, which aims to simplify mobile payments. Concurrently, Spain’s Unicaja was named the best bank in digital transformation for Western Europe by Global Finance, citing its use of generative artificial intelligence through its virtual assistant ‘Nica’ and the ‘Unicaja Key’ authentication system.

Itaú Uruguay was named the Best Digital Bank in Uruguay for the fifth consecutive year, earning honors in consumer and corporate categories as well as mobile banking and fraud prevention.
