The story begins in 1976 as Banco Internacional (today InterBanco), when a group of visionaries decided to trust the country and its ability to promote economic and social development, with a clear conviction to create a solid, modern and friendly bank, committed to the business vision of Guatemalans.
Over five decades, InterBanco has accompanied Guatemala in different economic cycles, processes of regulatory change and challenging environments, maintaining a firm and consistent institutional position. Its actions have been guided by fundamental values that have defined its identity: closeness, solidity, exemplarity and determination.
“The development of InterBanco has been supported by a long-term growth strategy, based on a permanent commitment to Guatemala and responsible risk management under solid corporate governance. This approach has allowed us to consolidate a financially robust, stable and continuously evolving institution, whose strength is reflected in its operational consistency, the trust of its clients and its ability to adapt over time,” commented José Antonio Corrales, president of the Board of Directors.
InterBanco recognizes its Board of Directors, collaborators, clients, strategic allies and shareholders, as essential key pieces to have achieved, to this day, a valuable positioning in the Guatemalan market, an excellent institutional reputation and a performance that has consolidated notable results.
“This growth has been accompanied by responsible risk management, which has allowed us, even with a significant expansion of credit, to reduce the delinquency rate and maintain one of the most solid coverage levels in the system. This approach confirms the solidity of the model and the careful administration of the resources that have been entrusted to us,” stated Jorge Luis Cabrera, General Manager.
The bank’s approach is based on three fundamental pillars: a personalized and close service, innovation as a driver of transformation and human talent as the central axis of organizational performance. As part of this vision, the institution continues to strengthen its digital proposal, including the launch of a new version of its mobile application, aimed at offering greater value, functionality and accessibility to its clients.
There is a clear and solid institutional commitment to continue accompanying the growth of people and companies in Guatemala and consolidate ourselves as a strategic ally of the country’s productive development, with a vision of sustainable, responsible growth and positive impact.
In the coming months, InterBanco will celebrate its celebration, visiting each region of Guatemala, with the aim of raising glasses to celebrate and thank all those clients and friends, individuals and companies, who have trusted and adopted the different and innovative solutions that today strengthen their financial performance.
