Earlier this month, Banco Popular announced it had entered into an agreement with American Airlines Inc. to become the exclusive issuer of AAdvantage co-branded credit cards in Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. On Tuesday, both companies formalized the new partnership, offering details of the benefits now available to cardholders.
Puerto Rico’s financial sector, one of the island’s key economic components, seems to be rebounding for the first time in four years, reporting $171 billion in combined assets during the second quarter of 2011.
Banco Popular is launching today a yearlong celebration of its 30th anniversary of operations in the U.S. Virgin Islands, where it began doing business in 1981 through the acquisition of the assets of the Royal Bank of Canada.
