According to the Alianza para la Inclusión Financiera (AFI), the Banco Central de Reserva (BCR) has led and promoted fundamental projects aimed at modernizing the country's payment systems with the incorporation of innovative, efficient and secure digital financial services, on par with international standards and for the benefit of all salvadorans.

The institution highlights that by optimizing the latest in financial technology, Transfer365 has provided the Central Government of El Salvador with a wealth of digital solutions to advance financial inclusion and boost overall economic growth in all sectors of the economy.
