A regional vision built on
True stewardship requires an unyielding commitment to core values alongside the strategic evolution necessary to sharpen our global competitive edge.
From the establishment of Banco Atlántida in 1913 in La Ceiba to its emergence as a multinational financial institution spanning eight countries across the Americas and Europe, our century-long history has been anchored by enduring generational leadership.
Tracing our trajectory from 1913 to a regional financial leader, explore how our brands transitioned, modernized, and consolidated into an integrated and competitive ecosystem.
Our inception in La Ceiba laid the ground rules for modern commercial banking in the region. Carrying that century-old foundation inspires our continuous strategic evolution.
In our first major evolution beyond traditional banking, Grupo Financiero Atlántida launched Leasing Atlántida (1978), Seguros Atlántida (1985), and AFP Atlántida (1998)—establishing the leading pension fund manager in Honduras and reinforcing our governance.
In 2010, I assumed the leadership of Banco Atlántida. This milestone initiated a new management era driven by a definitive objective: to professionalize operations, propel the brand toward new horizons, and accelerate the institution's digital transformation.
Marking our 100-year milestone in 2013, Banco Atlántida paired digital transformation with regional expansion. Through the acquisition of AFP Confía (2015) and entering the banking markets of El Salvador (2017) and Nicaragua (2019), we built a truly unified regional platform.
In 2022, Grupo Sur Atlántida was established to consolidate operations in Ecuador and Peru. This growth momentum continued in 2024 with the acquisition of Banco D-Miro in Ecuador and, through IBEROATLÁNTIDA, securing regulatory authorization to acquire a 45% stake in EBN Capital in Spain—marking our strategic entry into the European market.
Today, I serve as President of an integrated enterprise spanning eight countries and key growth sectors—including banking, insurance, and infrastructure. Guided by a century of stewardship, we ensure our global footprint operates under total regulatory compliance and world-class audit standards.
Three generational principles anchoring our institutional strategy.
01
Ensuring sustained growth through prudent risk management across all economic cycles.
02
Executing multi-country growth anchored by institutional relationships and long-term value creation.
03
Driving sustainable progress through strategic investments in infrastructure, education, and economic development.
