Latin American banking digital and brand updates

Overview

Financial institutions in Latin America are undergoing digital transformations and brand modernizations. In Bolivia, Banco Unión launched a new mobile application using microservices architecture to improve reliability. The bank has since expanded its digital capabilities by allowing customers to make deposits via QR codes at teller windows in 31 urban branches, reducing manual cash handling. Additionally, during the Expocruz 2026 fair, BancoSol and Banco FIE showcased digital tools for entrepreneurs, with BancoSol focusing on technological adaptation and Banco FIE presenting its ‘Pasaporte al Crecimiento’ concept.

In Mexico, Banco Bienestar introduced updates to its mobile app, enabling beneficiaries to perform and receive money transfers, currently limited to 500 pesos every 24 hours.

In Paraguay, Bancard introduced a QR extraction feature via its POS Azul system. This allows merchants to offer cash withdrawals to customers without physical cards, assisting areas with limited ATM access. The service is available through several entities, including Banco Familiar, Banco Continental, Bancoop, Banco Nacional de Fomento (BNF), Banco Basa, Cooperativa Comecipar, and the EKO wallet.

Banesco Banco Universal announced a brand identity renewal to reflect a shift toward ‘smarter and more connected banking’ across its international operations, including Venezuela, Panama, the Dominican Republic, the United States, and Puerto Rico.
