Banco Atlántida reaffirms its leadership in the Honduran financial system as it celebrates 113 years of uninterrupted operation. Established as the number one institution in deposits and investments, the bank celebrates this anniversary with the support and trust of more than 1.6 million clients. Since its founding in La Ceiba, Atlántida, in 1913, the bank has maintained its initial vision of "giving value to the efforts of an entire country."
This founding premise, which began with the issuance of a 10-lempira banknote, has translated more than a century later into a network of over 4,800 service points, in an effort to support the economic development of Honduras.
“Behind these 113 years are millions of stories of hard work, dreams fulfilled, and projects that have grown alongside us. Our commitment is to continue being a reliable partner that connects tradition and innovation, with the goal of generating real opportunities for the families, entrepreneurs, and businesses that trust Banco Atlántida,”
stated Carlos Girón, Corporate Vice President of Image and Institutional Reputation at Grupo Financiero Atlántida.
National and Regional Growth with Roots in La Ceiba
With a vision that honors its La Ceiba heritage, the institution drives development in all 18 departments of Honduras. And without losing sight of the future, the bank reaffirms its commitment to innovation and cutting edge technology to be ever closer to its clients, especially when they need it most. The institution continues to bridge distances through a strategy that combines physical strength with digital disruption.
In the first month of the year, its national presence was strengthened with the opening of strategic branches in Plaza Tecknos (La Ceiba), Quimistán, Jesús de Otoro, La Esperanza, and Choluteca. Furthermore, the Bank's leadership transcends physical borders. In a clear commitment to financial inclusion and modernization, Banco Atlántida has revolutionized the market with its Digital Onboarding with Passport service.
This innovation allows thousands of Hondurans, regardless of their location in the world, to join the Atlántida family and open a savings account immediately, using only their passport and biometric verification. This vision of "banking without borders" is also reflected in the consolidation of Grupo Financiero Atlántida in six Central and Latin American countries: Honduras, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Belize, Panama, and recently Ecuador, maintaining in each market the same commitment to proximity and service that has characterized it since its inception.
Today, Banco Atlántida continues to solidify its position as one of the main drivers of the Honduran economy, deeply grateful for the trust of those who have positioned it as a leading bank investing in the country's productive sectors.
Thus, with 113 years of history, Banco Atlántida celebrates the enduring legacy that continues to grow: the strength that made it the financial benchmark of Honduras, combined with the agility to anticipate the needs of an increasingly interconnected economy.
