Banco Santander Puerto Rico announced Monday the availability of its new mobile banking service to offer a host of features to smartphones customers with Internet access.
UPS Puerto Rico customers can now use their smartphones to track packages, calculate shipping rates and find the delivery company’s nearest location following the inclusion of 35 additional countries and territories in its mobile website.
Puerto Rico’s 81 percent wireless penetration rate is low in contrast to other parts of the world where mobile phones outnumber people, leaving ample space for growth and further contributions by an industry that “could do more.” However, the impact of an industry is not always in the numbers, but in the quality of services it extends to a population.
