When you invest in us, you’ll invest in the communities we serve.

As an FDIC-designated Minority Depository Institution (MDI), Popular Bank is a minority-led bank with a minority-driven mission: Impact Latino and other low- to moderate income communities by offering broader access to essential financial solutions and services. 

Your partnership will help us support and strengthen the economic development of the communities we serve.

How you can help carry out the goals of the Community Reinvestment Act.

The Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) was designed to encourage financial institutions to meet the credit needs of low- to moderate-income communities.

With a direct investment in Popular Bank, you’ll earn CRA credit by supporting our strategic activities related to mortgage credit and other lending solutions, which may spur:

  • Increases in Latino homeownership
  • Growth of minority-owned businesses
  • Sustained local development
How you can help carry out the goals of the Community Reinvestment Act

Our story is rooted in community.

Founded in Puerto Rico nearly 130 years ago as Banco Popular, or a “People’s Bank,” we made service to community the centerpiece of our financial mission and ethos. When we later opened our first U.S. mainland branch in 1961, in the Bronx, New York, financial inclusion remained imperative in our banking practices.

Today, through socially minded partnerships with financial empowerment organizations like Accion and Junior Achievement, as well as through our own Popular Foundation, we continue to initiate community investment and development and promote economic well-being for local low- to moderate income communities.

Anyone who needs our help should come to us without hesitation.” - Rafael Carrión Pacheco Former Chairman, Popular
