A. M. Digital banking is consolidating as a fundamental pillar for the salvadoran economy, showing a remarkable growth in interbank transfers. According to the Asociación Bancaria Salvadoreña (ABANSA), in the first quarter of 2025, more than 1.7 million transfers were registered, reflecting a year-on-year growth of 59%, underscoring the growing adoption and confidence in digital platforms.
This impressive rebound in the number of transactions made is complemented by a significant increase in the value of transactions, as the amount of these transactions reached US$1.067 billion, representing a 32% increase over the same period last year, marking a positive and upward trend.
ABANSA announced that in the first quarter of the year digital banking has remained the main channel for these transfers, consolidating itself as a key driver. This momentum facilitates commercial and financial operations in the country, boosting capital flows between entities.
The expansion of digital banking benefits El Salvador by modernizing its financial system and streamlining the daily transactions of businesses and citizens. This contributes to greater economic efficiency, reduces operating costs, and promotes financial inclusion in various layers of salvadoran society.
El Salvador is thus positioned as a benchmark in the adoption of digital tools to strengthen its economy and business competitiveness. The trend shows a clear path towards total digitization, with digital banking leading the transformation of the national financial landscape.
