A Legacy of Financial Excellence: The Carbonell Group’s Journey in the Financial Sector

At The Carbonell Group, our legacy of success extends into the financial sector, where we have played a pivotal role in shaping the financial landscape of Latin America. Our journey in finance began with The Popular Bank (BPT), which later evolved into the Central Bank of El Salvador in 1979. Today, we continue to hold controlling interests in one of the region’s most significant insurance companies, Aseguradora Popular. Additionally, through ‘Financiera Santa Elena,’ a subsidiary of Carbonell Group, we serve the financial needs of small and medium-sized businesses across Latin America, offering flexible loan solutions.

The Popular Bank (BPT): Pioneering Financial Services

Our journey in the financial sector traces back to The Popular Bank (BPT), an institution that laid the foundation for our enduring commitment to financial excellence. BPT was more than just a bank; it was a trusted partner to individuals and businesses in El Salvador. Over the years, it gained recognition for its unwavering dedication to customer service and financial innovation.

In 1979, The Popular Bank underwent a significant transformation and evolved into the Central Bank of El Salvador. This transition marked a critical juncture in our journey, as we assumed a broader role in the country’s financial stability and economic growth.
