Popular Community Bank Recognized as a "Best Bank" According to MONEY Magazine Survey

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

Popular Community Bank, a subsidiary of Popular, Inc. BPOP and one of the nation's premier community banks was among one of the “Best Banks” in MONEY Magazine's recent survey which reviewed 70 of the nation's largest banks for their checking, savings, and CD terms.

Popular Community Bank was included as a winner in the “Best Midsize Banks” category. According to MONEY Magazine this is for anyone seeking more of a personal relationship and better terms than you get at megabanks, without sacrificing branch accessibility. For this category, MONEY evaluated brick-and-mortar banks on their list with fewer than 1,000 branches.

“We are thrilled to be included in MONEY's survey and to live up to the descriptors in the areas of personal relationships and branch accessibility as shared in the category for best midsize bank,” said Manuel Chinea, COO of Popular Community Bank. “We strive to give an exceptional customer experience through better products, offerings, service and support.”

According to MONEY Magazine, Popular Community Bank was a winner because of the bank's above-average yields on both checking and savings, with low fees that are relatively easy to waive. For the full article and terms for the standout accounts noted visit: http://ti.me/1FW991u.
