With 111 years of experience at regional level and a portfolio of leading companies in banking, insurance, pensions and severance, leasing, general storage, brokerage, outsourcing services and computer services. We have positioned ourselves as pioneers in the introduction of new services, innovation and financial solutions.
Our companies have been an engine for the economy. Since our beginnings, Banco Atlántida played an outstanding role as an issuer of paper money in Honduras for 37 years (1913 - 1950), acting until today as a facilitator of important credit and investment operations for the development of business projects. Almacenadora Atlántida was founded In 1970, and in 1978, Seguros Atlántida began operations, giving way to the opening of Leasing Atlántida in 1985 and AFP Atlántida in 1998.
As we reached a century of operations, Banco Atlántida faced new challenges including the continuous adoption of innovation strategies and regional expansion with a renewed brand.
In 2015, the financial conglomerate acquired the leading pension fund in Central America and the Caribbean, AFP Confía, and in 2016, a stock exchange and an investment fund. In 2017, Banco Atlántida began operations in El Salvador as a member of Inversiones Financieras Atlántida S.A. following the acquisition of Banco ProCredit. It has had an important performance in the Salvadorean financial system, achieving growth over the industry. Today, the holding company Inversiones Financieras Atlántida owns five companies, including Atlántida Capital, Atlántida Securities, Atlántida Vida, AFP Confía and Banco Atlántida.
On November 1, 2019, we received authorization to open operations with our flagship brand, Banco Atlántida in Nicaragua with the purpose of expanding service opportunities for regional customers as well as to meet the financial needs of Nicaraguans with quality and innovation.
In 2020, Grupo Financiero Atlántida continues to consolidate its expansion process by starting operations in Ecuador and Peru through the formation of Grupo Sur Atlántida.
