11023AccountsON / OFF service Back Frequently Asked Questions for the ON / OFF service
  • What is the ON / OFF service?

    It is a function that allows customers to have their debit cards temporarily locked (turned OFF) via Mi Banco Mobile. The OFF mode rejects transactions attempted with the physical (plastic) card.

  • Who can use this service?

    The service can be used by the owner, signatory or guardian of a deposit account that includes a debit card and who is enrolled in the Mi Banco Mobile app. If you have not enrolled in Mi Banco, please enroll here and download the mobile app so you can use this service.

    Certain exclusions apply. For more details, visit the terms and conditions section of Mi Banco.

  • What happens when I lock my card (turn OFF)?

    You won’t be able to make new purchases, use Samsung Pay or Android Pay, or make cash withdrawals with your debit card. To use your card again, you must unlock it (turn it ON) in the Mi Banco Mobile app.

    Payments and transfers made through Mi Banco or the TelePago Popular® channel will not be affected, even if you have locked your card (turned OFF).

    Also, scheduled payments and transfers using your card (like subscriptions, for example) will be processed even if your card is locked.

    Note: Remember that you are responsible for making payments even when your card is locked (turned OFF). In the case of recurring payments, you must check with the payee and verify if the transaction successfully went through.

    If the card is locked, you can still conduct transactions using the Mobile Easy Deposit, Retiro Móvil and ATH Móvil services. The Add card in ATH Móvil and enrollment to Mi Banco functions will not be available.

  • Which transactions are still permitted after I activated the option to lock (turn OFF) my card?

    If you have temporarily locked (turned OFF) your card:

    • Automatic deposits and recurring or pre-authorized payments will not be affected.
    • You will be able to withdraw at ATMs through Mobile Withdrawal and deposit using Mobile Easy Deposit. Both services are available in Mi Banco Mobile app.
    • To continue to make purchases or withdrawals with your card, remember to unlock it again in Mi Banco Mobile app.
    • If your card was already registered, you will be able to use ATH Móvil. If you have lost your card, call 787-724-3659 or 1-888-724-3659 to cancel it.
  • At what point should I lock (turn OFF) my card?

    You should lock your card if you can’t find it temporarily, but believe you will be able to recover it. However, this service does not substitute your duty to notify the bank and report the card in case it is lost or stolen, to prevent unauthorized usage on your account.

  • How many cards can I lock (turn OFF) at the same time?

    There is no limit; you can turn off all the cards you have available.

  • Is there any cost for using the service?

    This service is free for all customers who are enrolled in Mi Banco Mobile.

  • Will recurring payments be made even if my card is locked (turned OFF)?

    Yes, scheduled or periodically programmed (daily, monthly, or yearly) payments will remain and will not be affected while your card is locked.

    Note: In case of recurring payments, you must check with the payee and verify if the transaction successfully went through.

  • Which cards am I able to lock (turn OFF)?

    You can lock all debit cards you have registered for the ON / OFF service.

    Certain exclusions apply. For more details, visit the terms and conditions section of Mi Banco.

  • Does the ON / OFF service work immediately?

    Yes, the ON / OFF service works instantly when you turn your card on or off.

  • By locking my card (turning it OFF), am I blocking my checking and/or savings account?

    Locking your card only prevents you from making eligible transactions with the card; your checking and/or savings account will remain active.

  • In the case of accounts featuring more than one signatory, if one signatory decides to lock (turn OFF) their card, can the remaining account signatories continue using their cards?

    Yes, the remaining signatories can continue using their cards as usual, as long as those other cards have not been locked.

  • What types of alerts will I receive every time I lock or unlock the card?

    You will receive an email every time you unlock or lock your card. To activate other types of alerts such as Push Notifications, you must be registered in the Mi Banco Mobile app.

  • I have an account with more than one card. Can I lock (turn OFF) just one of them?

    Yes, you can lock the cards you want. If you lock one card, the rest will remain unlocked (turned ON).

  • What should I do if my card is lost or stolen, or if I see fraudulent transactions?

    You should immediately call TeleBanco Popular® at 787-724-3659 or 1-888-724-3659 to report the situation and cancel the card. This way you will prevent unauthorized transactions.

  • Can I request a replacement card while my card is locked (turned OFF)?

    Yes, you can request a replacement card while your card is locked. Once you receive your new card:

    1. Activate it through Mi Banco Online or at the nearest branch.
    2. On the Mi Banco Mobile app, select the account linked to your card, access the ON/OFF section, and press the ON button. This is necessary because your replacement card will initially appear as locked (turned OFF) since the previous card already was.
  • What happens if my card is locked (turned OFF) and I receive a new card because it was renewed?

    Your new card will arrive with the same status (ON / OFF) that your previous card had. If your old card was locked and want to use it again: open the Mi Banco Mobile app, go to your profile and then to the section where your cards appear. Press the ON button to unlock it.

  • If my mobile phone was stolen, what options do I have to unlock (turn ON) my cards?

    You can call TeleBanco Popular® at 787-724-3659 or 1-888-724-3659 or visit any of our branches and one of our representatives will gladly assist you.

  • How long can my card remain locked (turned OFF)?

    The OFF option should be used temporarily. If you are unable to locate your card you should immediately report it lost or stolen. Still, your card will remain locked until you decide to unlock it with the ON button or you report your card lost or stolen. If your account turns inactive, the card will be automatically cancelled. For more information, please refer to your checking or savings account’s contract.

  • When should I report my lost or stolen card?

    If you think your card is lost, report it immediately. Call TeleBanco Popular® at 787-724-3659 or 1-888-724-3659. When you report your lost or stolen card, we will cancel it and issue a new card with a new number.

8702Checking and SavingsOverdraft fee practices Back

Overdraft fee practices

  • 1. What is the difference between a fee for returned transaction and a fee for paid transaction due to insufficient funds?
    • Fee for returned transaction: Occurs when you don’t have enough funds in your account to cover a transaction and Banco Popular rejects or returns the transaction. Since August 26, 2022, Banco Popular is not charging fees for returned transactions (previously, the charge was $15).
    • Fee for paid transactions: Occurs when you don’t have enough money in your account to cover a transaction, and Banco Popular decides to pay it. Since August 26, 2022, paid transactions of $5 or less have no fee (previously a $15 fee was charged to your account). For transactions of more than $5, the $15 fee will continue to be applied, up to a maximum of $75 or 5 transactions per day. Banco Popular covers overdrafts at its discretion, which means that we do not guarantee that we will authorize and pay any type of transaction. If we don’t authorize and pay an overdraft, the transaction will be returned. For more information about individual deposit accounts, you can review your account disclosure at popular.com/en/accounts/.
  • 2. What overdraft options do I have?
    1. Standard Overdraft This service is included with the account and does not require your consent. Checks and electronic transactions (TelePago Popular® and/or Electronic Debits): We reserve the right to authorize and pay overdrafts for checks and other transactions made using your account number, and/or preauthorized bill payments. Whether Banco Popular pays the overdraft is a discretionary decision that depends on several factors, including the amount and type of transaction and the past activity in your account. If Banco Popular decides to pay the overdraft, your account will be subject to an overdraft fee ($15) per paid transaction and a negative balance will be reflected. Since August 26, 2022, paid transactions of $5 or less have no charge. Banco Popular does not guarantee that it will authorize and pay any type of transaction. If we don’t authorize and pay an overdraft, your transaction will be returned. Banco Popular typically does not authorize overdrafts if your account does not receive regular deposits, or your account has reflected overdrafts in the past. ATM and everyday debit card transactions: Our Standard Overdraft Practice does not authorize nor pay overdrafts for ATM and everyday debit card transactions unless you request it. For more information, you can review your account disclosure at popular.com/en/accounts/.
    2. Overdraft Service for ATM and everyday debit card transactions This option applies only when you request that Banco Popular authorize and pay overdrafts for transactions made at ATMs and/or everyday debit card transactions. To authorize or enroll, you must complete a Consent for Overdraft Service form. You can do this by logging in to Mi Banco Mobile app. On the menu, select “Go to desktop version,” under “Accounts” select “Account Services,” choose the accounts that you want to authorize and press “Submit.” You can also download the form by clicking here and deliver it to the nearest branch, or mail the form to Banco Popular, Customer Management Support (649), PO Box 362708, San Juan, PR 00936-2708. Even if you enroll in the Overdraft Service, Banco Popular still reserves the right to authorize or decline the transaction. If we pay the relevant transaction, we will charge a $15 overdraft fee for everyday debit card and ATM transactions of $5 or more paid against insufficient funds. Since August 26, 2022, paid transactions of $5 or less have no charge. Incurring fees will reduce the amount of overdraft coverage available to you. If you have not agreed to this service (that is, if you do not enroll), then these transactions will be declined for insufficient funds, and we will not charge an overdraft fee. You may revoke your consent to enroll for Overdraft Service for ATMs and everyday debit card transactions at any time through Mi Banco Mobile under “Go to Desktop Version”. You can also visit your local branch, call 787-724-3659 or mail your request to Banco Popular, Customer Management Support (649), P.O. Box 362708, San Juan, PR 00936-2708.
  • 3. How can I avoid an overdraft fee?

    1 Charges may apply for text messages or data excess in conformity with to your cell service plan. Check with your service provider to find out more about your plan.

    2 Subject to credit approval. A 17.99% APR is fixed.

  • 4. What accounts have other services to avoid overdrafts?
    • Cuenta Popular - An affordable account with no overdraft fees. The first account in Puerto Rico that meets the national standards of the Bank On program for convenient and moderate-cost accounts.
    • Acceso Popular and Acceso Universitario – When making purchases and withdrawals at ATMs, these accounts combine the balance of the checking section and the savings section to authorize the transaction. If you don’t have enough balance in the checking section, but you have enough balance in the savings section to cover the transaction, Banco Popular authorizes it. Once authorized, the account transfers the amount from the savings to the checking section. This service has no cost.
    • MultiCuenta Popular – This account have the Guaranteed Reserve with Savings. When you make your purchases and withdrawals at an ATM, the account combines the balance of the checking section and the savings section to authorize the transaction. If you don’t have enough funds in the checking section, but have a balance in the savings section to cover the transaction, Banco Popular authorizes it. Once authorized, the amount transferred from savings is withheld (creates a hold) and automatically activates a reserve to cover overdrafts in the checking section. This guaranteed reserve with savings does not require credit approval. Banco Popular charges 5% APR above the interest rate on savings section for this service. For more information about the Guaranteed Reserved with Savings, access the Deposit Account Agreement here.
  • 5. Where can I find the available balance of my account?

    These channels will display the most updated balance information we have in our systems. Transactions in process authorized by you could affect the available balance.

7893Checking and SavingsBank On Certification in Cuenta Popular® Back

Bank On and Cuenta Popular®

  • What is Bank On?

    Bank On is a program of the Cities for Financial Empowerment Fund (CFE) and its mission is to ensure families can obtain affordable, convenient, and moderate-cost accounts. For a financial institution to obtain Bank On certification, the account must meet certain standards to make sure it is accessible to consumers. For more information about Bank On, click here.

  • What is the Bank On National Accounts Standards guide?

    It’s a guide offered by the Cities for Financial Empowerment Fund (CFE) that provides specific advice on the requirements that financial institutions must meet to certify an account within the Bank On program. Click here to review the guide.

  • Which account is offered by Banco Popular under the Bank On program?

    Banco Popular is offering the Cuenta Popular® checking account.

  • What did Banco Popular do to certify its Cuenta Popular® under the Bank On program?

    We eliminated charges related to the overdraft policy and for inactivity in the Cuenta Popular® account.

    Changes to the Cuenta Popular® account:

    Charge type Previously Currently Overdraft 1 $15 $0 Overdraft maintenance 1 $5 $0 Inactivity 2 $10 $0
  • When did the changes made to the Cuenta Popular® become effective?

    Changes were effective on November 1, 2021.

  • Are there any special requirements to open a Cuenta Popular® account?

    You only need to be 18 years or older and provide valid and current identification with evidence of having Social Security.

1 Cuenta Popular® will not have any fees associated with overdraft, insufficient funds or unavailable funds. Likewise, the Overdraft Policies of Banco Popular de Puerto Rico will not apply to, nor will they be available for the Cuenta Popular® account. This means that we will decline and return as unpaid those transactions for which you do not have sufficient funds in your account. Although the Cuenta Popular® account will not allow you to overdraw your account in most cases, it is possible for your account to have a negative balance; however, in those cases, we will not charge you overdraft fees. This could occur, for example, when you authorize a payment with your debit card for an amount less than the amount received by the bank for your payment (for example, the added tip for a payment at a restaurant).

2 If you do not make transactions in your deposit account, inactivity charges will not be applied. However, the inactivity period will remain in place, thus it is important that you continue making transactions to your account in order to avoid its status changing to inactive and your money being remitted to the Commissioner of Financial Institutions (OCIF, by its Spanish acronym), in accordance with the applicable laws and regulations. As a reminder, if you do not make any transactions in a 6-month period, your account will be considered inactive.

Depending on the type of deposit, the funds may be available for withdrawal the same day, the next business day, or after several days after the date of deposit; in most cases the longest delay is up to the seventh business day after the date of deposit. During the delay period (if any), depositors may not withdraw the funds in cash and the Bank will not use the funds to process payment orders issued by the depositor.

Banco Popular sets the limits of the availability of funds according with the minimum amounts required by the Regulation CC. Nevertheless, periodically the bank will evaluate certain criteria and may grant higher availability of funds than the limit established by the Regulation.

For more details related to the availability of funds, access our Availability of Funds Policy. If you need additional information, you may visit any of our branches or contact TeleBanco Popular at (787) 724-3659 or 1 (888) 724-3659, available 24 hours, seven days a week.

5253IRAs and CDsWhat is an IRA?Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs) are an essential tool to help you save for your years of retirement. In addition, those classified as Deductible IRAs provide you an immediate benefit: deducting your contributions from your income tax return, up to a maximum set by law.  
5255IRAs and CDsWho is eligible to open an IRA account?Any person, resident of Puerto Rico, who is seventy four (74) years of age or younger, who receives "compensation" such as, income from wages, salary, professional services, occupational income, selling commissions, tips or self-employment from sources within Puerto Rico is eligible. Compensation does not include interests, dividends, rents, royalties, income from child support or capital earnings or any other income that does not come from employment. No age limit applies to Non-Deductible IRAS. If you wish to invest in Mutual Funds IRA, you must continue to be a resident of Puerto Rico to maintain the investment.  
5257IRAs and CDsHow much can be deducted as contribution to an IRA account?The maximum amount that can be deducted for an individual in a taxable year, as defined in the Internal Revenue Code of Puerto Rico, is $5,000 or the adjusted gross income of the taxpayer, attributed to professions and occupations, whichever is less. In the case of married couples who file a joint Puerto Rico income tax return, the maximum amount that can be deducted in your joint income tax return is $10,000 or the combined adjusted gross income gained from professions or occupations of both spouses, whichever is less, even if only one of the spouses is employed. Contributions by each spouse must be made to separate accounts.  
5259IRAs and CDsWhat is the final date in which I can contribute to my IRA?Contributions to an IRA account for the previous year must be made not later than April 15 of the current year, or the date in which the taxpayer files his income tax return for that particular year, (including any authorized extension applicable to submit the tax return by PR Internal Revenue Code.  
5261IRAs and CDsWhat is the tax relief in my income tax return by contributing to an IRA account?

The amount you pay in taxes will be reduced when you open an IRA account depending on the amount of the contribution and your tax rate range. The following table presents several examples:

IRA Contribution Tax rate range Reduction $5,000 7% $350 $5,000 10% $500 $5,000 15% $750 $5,000 28% $1,400
5285IRAs and CDsWhen can a person begin to receive the accumulated amount in an IRA account?A person can begin to receive the accumulated amount in an IRA account upon reaching sixty (60) years of age without a Treasury Department penalty. However, that disbursement must begin no later than the taxable year in which the taxpayer reaches seventy five (75) years of age. Non Deductible IRAS (Popular Roth IRA and Stock Market Roth IRA) are not subject to this age/distribution requirement.  
5287IRAs and CDsCan a person begin to receive the accumulated amount in an IRA account before reaching sixty (60) years of age?A person may receive a disbursement from an IRA account at any moment. However, if done before reaching sixty (60) years of age and the distribution was for an qualified reason, as a general rule, that person is subject to a 10% penalty imposed by the tax code or 15% in case of having chosen prepayment of contributions, as required by the Code.  
5289IRAs and CDsAre there exceptions to the Treasury Department tax penalty for receiving a disbursement before reaching 60 years of age?

Yes. The penalty does not apply if the disbursement is made:

  • as a consequence of death, disability, due to a severe, chronic, degenerative, and terminal disease affecting the person or a family member within the fourth degree of consanguinity or second of affinity;
  • unemployment of the individual person (as defined in the tax code),
  • because the person will use the amount to be disbursed to cover certain expenses relating to the university studies of a direct dependent of the person,
  • for purchases or construction of the person’s first main home in Puerto Rico.
  • to repair or rebuild the main home that has been affected by fire, hurricane, earthquake or any other natural cause,
  • to avoid imminent foreclosure or arrears on the mortgage of the person first main home in Puerto Rico due to the loss of employment or verifiable substantial reduction in income,
  • for the purchase of a computer (maximum withdrawal of up to $1,200), for a dependent up to the second degree of consanguinity and who is pursuing studies up to the university level. This withdrawal may be made once every six (6) years.

In addition, the penalty does not apply if the individual transfers the distributed amount to another IRA account (rollover) within 60 days of receiving the disbursement. The Bank will retain any penalties required by the government, unless the individual provides evidence of the deposit at another Institution.

5293IRAs and CDsHow will I receive the funds from my disbursement?The IRA quantities may be disbursed through a Distribution Plan: in a lump sum; in monthly, quarterly, semiannual or annually; in equal payments or substantially equal.  
5299IRAs and CDsCan I withdraw or receive disbursements only of the accumulated interest in my IRA account?No. The IRA withdrawal amounts or the account disbursements include both principal (amount contributed by the person) and accumulated interests.  
5303IRAs and CDsI am 60 years old, I am single, and I received a total distribution from my IRA accounts. How do I report this income in my income tax return?The amount received or disbursed from an IRA account will be reported as ordinary income in the tax year in which the taxpayer received the disbursement. The amount included as income shall be equal to the disbursement received, less the portion of exempt income included in said disbursement.  
5307IRAs and CDsMy IRA account gained income tax-exempt interests. Do I have to report the disbursements of my IRA account in my income tax return?Yes. From the amount you received or was disbursed, the portion corresponding to principal must be included as ordinary income. However, the portion corresponding to income tax-exempt interests are excluded from your income tax return, and therefore, you do not have to report it.  
5311IRAs and CDsAre taxes paid over interests earned in an IRA account?Depending on the type of IRA chosen, interest earned may be taxable or exempt. However, you will pay taxes over IRA funds and over the taxable interest earned only in the year in which the withdrawal of funds takes place and only for the amount of the withdrawal.  
5313IRAs and CDsWhen I was a resident of Puerto Rico, I opened an IRA account. Now I am a resident of the United States and I received a disbursement from my IRA in Puerto Rico. Do I have to pay taxes on this income in Puerto Rico?If you receive income from IRA accounts opened in Puerto Rico, even if you are no longer a resident of Puerto Rico, this income is taxable in Puerto Rico. For the United States, we suggest you consult your tax advisor to evaluate your specific case.  
5317IRAs and CDsWhat happens to my IRA account if I die?

The IRA account of a deceased client is considered part of his remnant estate and it belongs to his heirs from the date of the client’s death. The account is codified as deceased until the account is cancelled, and there will be no cancellation penalties.

To withdraw funds because of death, the required documents are:

  • Death Certificate
  • Declaration on Heirs or Will (certified by the court, after the death occurs, as being the last one granted by the depositor),
  • Letters testamentary certifying the executor's authority, when applicable, and
  • Copy of the authorization for the withdrawal of funds, certified by the Department of the Treasury, that includes the following:
    • Tax payment receipt over the estate of the deceased, or
    • Certified copy of the release from the payment of taxes.
5321IRAs and CDsI retired from a company in Puerto Rico and would like to transfer the funds to an IRA. Can I rollover these funds to an IRA account?Yes. The law allows the rollover of these funds to an IRA account through a rollover directly from the fiduciary who manages the company's retirement plan to the fiduciary who manages the IRA account to which the roll over will be made. The retirement plan with the company must be qualified by the Puerto Rico Treasury Department. You can also receive the disbursement and contribute it to an IRA account within sixty (60) days from receiving said payment or disbursement.  
5323IRAs and CDsDo I have to begin to withdraw my money from an IRA account at a particular age?Yes. The law requires that you begin to withdraw your funds not later than the calendar year in which you turn seventy five (75) years. Non Deductible IRAS (Popular Roth IRA and Stock Market Roth IRA) are not subject to this age/distribution requirement.  
5325IRAs and CDsCan a person open an IRA even if he/she has a retirement plan or pension, whether private Government or Social Security?

Yes, any person can open an IRA as long as the combined total contributions among the plans do not exceed:

Taxable year Total 2010 $9,000 2011 $10,000 2012 $13,000 2013 $15,000

The Tax Reform for the taxable year 2011 does not have a combined limit of retirement plans and IRAs. The client can contribute the maximum included in your retirement plan (before taxes) and also contribute $ 5,000 (maximum) per individual IRA account.

    You must have an ATH card on your name for the business account that you want to enroll.

5263Retirement PlansWhat is a 1081.01 (d) Plan, better known as a 401(k)? It is a defined-contribution plan through which you,as an employee, choose to participate and defer from taxes a determinate amount of your salary, as permitted by law. This amount is deducted from your payroll and is invested in a retirement plan, deferring taxes until you receive a distribution from the plan.
5265Retirement PlansWhat benefits do I get from a 1081.01 (d) Plan that I don\'t get from other investments?
  • Contributions are tax-deferred until the time of distribution.
  • Contributions are flexible and can be adjusted to meet your circumstances.
  • The plan is a smart way to save for your retirement because of the tax deferral on your contributions, and the matching contribution you may receive from your employer.
5267Retirement PlansHow much can I contribute to a 1081.01 (d) Plan Once you join the plan, the percentage you choose will be deducted from your pay. You can defer up to $15,000.00 during the taxable year 2018, as stated by law.
5269Retirement PlansWho administers my 1081.01 (d) Plan?

The assets in the plan are held in a trust. The employer names Banco Popular as plan's trustee to safeguard and invest the plan's assets according to the participant's or the employer's instructions.

5271Retirement PlansCan I have an individual retirement account (IRA) and a 1081.01 (d) Plan? Yes, and you may contribute to both up to the limits permitted by law.
5273Retirement PlansWhat is the difference between an individual retirement account (IRA) and a 1081.01 (d) Plan? Your 1081.01 (d) plan allows you to save a larger tax-deferred amount than you would be able to save through an IRA, depending on your income level. Some 1081.01 (d) plans allow you to apply for a loan from the money contributed to your account, which you cannot do with an IRA. The 1081.01 (d) plan's investment options offer greater flexibility and opportunity for diversification than an IRA investment options would offer.
5275Retirement PlansWhat happens to my 1081.01 (d) plans, if I decide to stop contributing to it? Participation in a 1081.01 (d) plan is voluntary and you may stop contributing to the plan at any time you wish by notifying your company's Plan Administrator or the designated representative. The money contributed will remain in the plan until there is a distribution of funds under the plan's provisions.
5277Retirement PlansWhat is a qualified rollover?It is the transfer of the total amount distributed to you under a qualified retirement plan to another qualified plan in Puerto Rico or to an individual retirement account (IRA) offered by a financial institution in Puerto Rico. It must be done within 60 days of having received the payment, or through a direct transfer from the previous trustee to your new plan's trustee. In the event of a rollover, it is best to request that it be made directly from one plan to another to avoid the tax withholding for distributions due to separation of employment.
5279Retirement PlansCan I leave my money in the Plan, if I am no longer an employee? Yes, you can leave your money in the plan as long as your vested balance amount is greater than $5,000 and the plan is still active. You must begin to withdraw your money no later than April 1 of the calendar year following the year in which you reached 70½ years of age.
5281Retirement PlansCan I withdraw funds from a 1081.01 (d) Plan? You can only withdraw money from your plan under certain conditions:
  • Retirement at the established age, according to the plan.
  • Early retirement.
  • Death.
  • Disability.
  • Termination of employment
  • Hardship, as defined by each retirement plan.
If provided under the terms of the plan, hardship withdrawals may be permitted for: the purchase of your primary residence, payment of college tuition or medical expenses not reimbursed by an insurance company, among others.
5283Retirement PlansWhat happens to my 1081.01 (d) if I change employers? If you change employers or end your employment, you have the option of withdrawing or transferring the total vested balance of your account or leaving it in the plan if the vested balance is greater than $5,000. The money contributed is yours and, if your plan provides for it, you can withdraw the money and transfer it to an IRA or to another 1081.01 (d) plan.
5291Retirement PlansWhy should I participate in a qualified retirement plan? Participating in a retirement plan can enable you to rely on having the money needed for a comfortable retirement. With appropriate planning, your retirement plan will help make your retirement years more enjoyable. To achieve this, the law provides tax incentives that will help you reach this goal. For example, through a 1081.01 (d) plan, you can save in the plan on a pre-tax basis. That's why it is important to take advantage of the savings opportunities provided by a plan so when the time for retirement comes around, you may receive the investments you made to the plan.
5295Retirement PlansWhat are tax benefits?

Employer's contributions to a retirement plan are tax deferred until they are distributed to you. The money you contribute to the 1081.01 (d)/401K plan is tax-exempt, until you withdraw the money from the plan. This constitutes a significant tax saving.

For example, if your annual compensation is $12,000 and you contribute $100 per month to the plan, or $1,200 per year, you will save the taxes that would otherwise be due on that $1,200. If your effective tax rate is 12%, you will obtain a savings equal to that rate, or $144 ($1,200 x 12%) in taxes.

At the end of the year, when you receive your W-2 form from your employer, the amount you contributed to the plan during the tax year will be deducted from the amount you will report as taxable income for the year. In other words, you will only pay taxes on $10,800 of your $12,000 in compensation. That's why it is advantageous to contribute as much as possible to the plan, within the limits established by law, to maximize your tax savings.

5297Retirement PlansHow are the investments diversified? A 1081.01 (d) plan can offer various investment alternatives that include aggressive, moderate and conservative investments. You can achieve an appropriate level of diversification selecting a combination of funds that allows you to choose the investments that best meets your savings goals, risk level and personal objectives.

  • Helps increase employee loyalty
  • Provides an incentive for saving
  • Matching contributions paid to employees may be deducted from Employer taxes, as permitted by the law.
5315Retirement PlansWhy do you need a Trustee? All qualified retirement plans in Puerto Rico are regulated by Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 ("ERISA"), which imposes fiduciary responsibilities on the plan administrators, trustees and employers. The complexity and breadth of ERISA, subject to continual interpretation by the Federal Department of Labor, as well as local tax considerations, make it increasingly difficult to conscientiously meet the fiduciary responsibilities that are a part of managing and administering a retirement plan. That's why many plan sponsors hire the services of an institutional trustee, such as the Fiduciary Services Division of Banco Popular, to help them develop, implement and manage a retirement program for their employees.
5319Retirement PlansWhy is Banco Popular the best alternative? The Popular Fiduciary Services Division of Banco Popular de Puerto Rico has more than a half a century of experience providing trust services for defined-contribution and defined-benefit plans. We offer a complete range of services related to the design, establishment, investments and administration of retirement plans under one institution, for both qualified and non-qualified plans with the Puerto Rico Treasury Department.

  • Plan Design.
  • Record-Keeping for Participants' Accounts.
  • Detailed Reports.
  • Educational Program for Participants.
  • Customer Support.
Many of our clients decide to adopt the Popular Master Plan, also known as Banco Popular de Puerto Rico Master Defined-Contribution Retirement Plan. Through the Popular Master Plan, you consolidate in one institution the trustee, record-keeping and investment services of the plan.
5327Retirement PlansHow does Popular Master Plan help me?

The Popular Master Plan will help you simplify and reduce the costs of implementing and operating a plan. It makes this possible by providing a plan already in operation and qualified by the Puerto Rico Treasury Department. By using the bank as a trustee and record-keeper of the plan participants' accounts, all the services are consolidated under one institution, thereby increasing the efficiency of the plan's administration.

With the Popular Master Plan, we simplify the design and reduce the implementation and operational costs of your defined-contribution retirement plan by:

  • Install antivirus and spyware detection software in all your computer systems. Free software may not provide protection against the most recent threats, compared to standard industry products.
  • Regularly update all your computers with the most recent versions and patches for your antivirus and antispyware programs.
  • Make sure to regularly install security patches on your computers, especially for your operating system and key applications.

5647FraudWhat can you do to protect yourself by accessing online from your cell phone? 
  • Make sure your smartphone operating system is updated, keeping you protected with the latest security changes for your device.
  • Avoid accessing your accounts through public Wi-Fi networks, such as those offered in fast food restaurants, libraries, or recreational parks.
  • Avoid storing passwords or answers to security questions on paper, pictures, or applications such as Notes, where the information could be accessed.
  • Do not jailbreak your smartphone operating system. This makes the device more vulnerable to malicious software attacks and removes any protection provided by the manufacturer. It would also void the manufacturer's warranty.
  • Only access and make purchases at secure online sites. Make sure their addresses begin with ‘https’ (which means the security measures are more thorough).
  • If you lose your smartphone or change your phone number, please access Mi Banco Online immediately to remove your old contact number and disable Mi Banco Alerts service.
  • Protect your device with a password so others won’t be able to access it.
  • Enable the automatic screen lock whenever the device is not being used.

5655Identity TheftWhat can I do if I am a victim of identity theft?
  • Consider contacting a credit reporting agency to request a security freeze on your credit report. A security freeze protects against identity theft by making it more difficult for a thief to open a fraudulent account using your non-public personal information. Keep in mind that a security freeze on your credit report will not prevent a thief from making charges to your existing accounts.
  • If you choose not to request a security freeze on your credit report, consider requesting the credit reporting agency place a fraud alert on your credit reports. A fraud alert on your credit reports alerts users of credit reports, including potential creditors, to contact the consumer to confirm the identity of the person opening the new account or requesting credit.
  • Check your annual credit reports provided by the credit reporting agencies, Equifax, Experian and TransUnion, (free of charge) by visiting www.annualcreditreport.com. The accounts or activity presented in credit report that you do not recognize as yours could be an indicator that you are a victim of identity theft.
  • Access frequently and closely monitor your existing bank accounts and credit cards to identify and report transactions or charges that you do not recognize.
5573Identity TheftWhat is identity theft? Identity theft occurs when someone uses another person’s personal information without his or her authorization with the intent to commit fraud or other crimes. Those who commit identity theft use non-public personal information which may include:
  • Demographic information such as your name, Social Security number and phone number, date of birth, physical and/or postal address, among others.
  • Credit information (used to make purchases and/or apply to a credit card and/or obtain access to your accounts)
What does Banco Popular do to prevent identity theft? At Banco Popular, we are constantly monitoring your accounts and we maintain controls to prevent identity theft. Even so, external situations may occur in businesses and offices that may expose your personal information. In those cases, as soon as we become alerted or our systems detect any unusual activity of a possible act of fraud or a compromised credit or debit card, we take measures to prevent the identity theft and unauthorized transactions by sending you a new card and/or contact you through several channels—regular mail and email, text messages and/or a phone call.
5575Identity TheftWhat can I do to prevent identity theft?
  • Store documents with personal information such as your Social Security number, ID cards, birth certificates, passports, and so on in a safe place.
  • Don’t share your passwords or the access codes to your checking accounts, savings accounts, or credit or debit cards with anyone.
  • Choose passwords that are difficult to guess or copy.

  • To process the payment your card must be within 1 to 2 inches from the terminal, so it is unlikely to pay accidentally.

  • As in any debit card transaction, you are protected against unauthorized charges.

6213CardsCash Rewards Program

1. How do I earn cash rewards?

You will earn rewards based on eligible purchases made by a cardholder or authorized user during a billing cycle, minus any credit or return related to an eligible purchase ("net purchases"). Eligible purchases do not include: use of checks from your credit card account, balance transfers, cash advances, interests and account fees, unauthorized charges, purchase of casino chips, other forms of gambling or any other transaction than our sole discretion determines that it constitutes or is equivalent to a cash advance.

Earn 1.5% (equal to $0.015) of cash rewards for every dollar ($1.00) in net purchases. For example, a hundred dollars ($100) in net purchases generate a dollar-and-fifty-cent accumulation ($1.50) of cash rewards. Cash Rewards are rounded up to the nearest penny. The rewards are calculated considering each net purchase, not the sum of the net purchases assessed in a billing cycle.

2. How do I check my Cash Rewards balance?

The cash rewards balance you have earned will be presented on your credit card statement and on Mi Banco Online. You can also call Customer Service at 787-758-0505787-758-0505 for rewards’ related questions.

There is a minimum redemption amount of $10.00. You can redeem in Mi Banco or by calling Customer Service at 787-758-0505787-758-0505. The credit can take up to 5 days to be reflected in your account. To redeem the Cash Rewards your account must be kept open until the date the cash rewards is processed. The credit will appear on your statement as a credit adjustment to your account and not as a payment. You must continue to make at least the minimum payment required for each billing cycle on or before your expiration date. If you choose to redeem with a credit to your statement and redemption results in a credit balance on your account, redemption cannot be reversed. The credit balance will remain in your account and will apply to any new purchases, unless you contact the Customer Service at 787-758-0505787-758-0505 to request a credit balance reimbursement.

4. Do my rewards expire?

Your Cash Rewards are yours for the life of the account; they will not expire as long as your account is open and in good standing.

5. Is there a limit to the amount of rewards I can earn?

There is no limit on the amount of Cash Rewards that you can earn on purchases, subject to the loss or suspension of the cash rewards.

6. Rewards loss or suspension:

You may earn Cash Rewards as long as your account is open and current. If you or we decide to close your account, you will have up to 30 days from the closing date of the account to redeem your balance of rewards, by calling Customer Service at 787-758-0505787-758-0505. After this period, you will lose any Cash Rewards that you have not redeemed. You will not be able to earn or redeem your Cash Rewards if your account becomes delinquent; that is if you fail to make any required minimum payment when due. Cash Rewards may not be assigned, transferred and/or pledged to any third party. We reserve the right to suspend you from the Program at any time.

7. Changes to the Cash Rewards Program:

The terms of the cash rewards are subject to changes, substitution, or cancellation at any moment and for any reason at our sole discretion, and without notice to you.

Rewards may not be allocated, transferred, and/or ceded to any third party. Rewards earned in your reward account are not equivalent to cash. You have no right of property or any other legal interest in the rewards. Rewards may not be transferred under the law, such as by inheritance, bankruptcy or divorce. You cannot combine the rewards earned on this account with those you earn in another account with us.

9. Fraud, misuse, and abuse:

If we find evidence of fraud, misuse, abuse, or suspicious activity, we will investigate and if we determine that fraud, misuse, or abuse occurred, we may take action against you. These actions may include, without limitation: (i) withdraw any rewards earned as a result of fraud, misuse or abuse, (ii) stop granting rewards to you, (iii) suspend or close your account, (iv) take legal action to recover the amounts credited due to rewards redeemed by such activity, and to recover our monetary losses including litigation costs and damages.

What is a contactless chip card?

Is a chip card that has a near-field communication (NFC) antenna, enabling close-range payments. Transmits wirelessly, via radio frequency, the information necessary to make a transaction to merchants’ terminal or point of sale enabled with NFC technology.

When you TAP your card near the contactless symbol of the checkout terminal, your payment is sent quickly and securely for authorization.

What is NFC technology?

Near Field Communication (NFC) is the technology that terminals or points of sale use to receive and process transactions with contactless cards or devices. It is identified with the contactless symbol.

What are the benefits of contactless payments?

Speed and convenience. All you have to do is TAP with your card the terminal or point of sale where you see the contactless symbol and enter your PIN to make the payment.

Are contactless payments secure?

Yes. For various reasons:

  • The financial industry uses advanced technologies on contactless cards, network and processing system to prevent fraud.
  • Just like chip card transactions, contactless payments are secure because each transaction is accompanied by a one-time security code that authenticates each transaction.
  • To process payments, your card must be within 1-2 inches of the contactless symbol on the terminal, so it is unlikely to pay accidentally.
  • As with any debit card transaction, you are protected against unauthorized charge.

Can anyone read my contactless chip card information?

Contactless payment cards are designed to be read when they are near a payment terminal enabled with this technology.

Does the antenna transmit my name or personal information during the transaction?

No, the antenna does not transmit any personal information.

Where can I pay with my contactless Popular card?

In places where you see the contactless symbol on the checkout terminal. Just look for the symbol at checkout, TAP your card and enter your PIN to pay.

Please note that some merchants might have the contactless symbol on the terminal but might have not activated the software to enable contactless transactions.

How close does my contactless Popular card need to be to the contactless checkout terminal?

Your card must be within 1-2 inches of the contactless symbol on the terminal.

How do I hold my contactless Popular card to the checkout terminal?

Typically, the terminal reads the antenna best when the card is flat over the contactless symbol. However, some contactless readers will function best if you TAP the chip to the actual payment reader.

When exactly do I TAP to pay?

Once you are prompted to pay, by the cashier or the machine, simply TAP your card to the terminal where you see the Contactless Symbol and enter your PIN.

Can I use my contactless Popular card even if I don’t see the contactless symbol?

Speed and convenience. All you have to do is TAP with your card the terminal or point of sale where you see the symbol to make your payment.

Yes. For various reasons:

  • The financial industry uses advanced technologies on contactless cards, network and processing system to prevent fraud.
  • Just like chip card transactions, contactless payments are secure because each transaction is accompanied by a one-time security code that authenticates each transaction.

Please note that some merchants might have the contactless symbol on the terminal but might have not activated the software to enable contactless transactions.

7. How close does my contactless Popular card need to be to the contactless checkout terminal?

Your card must be within 1-2 inches of the contactless symbol on the terminal.

5377Auto InsuranceDoes my vehicle’s insurance cover rented cars, trucks or vans?The existing insurance policies for vehicles vary with respect to rented cars, trucks and vans. For example, a policy may provide coverage to a rented car for personal purposes but not for business purposes. To be sure whether or not your insurance policy covers rented vehicles contact your agent or insurance company.  
5379Auto InsuranceHow can I reduce the probabilities of having my car stolen?
  1. Always lock up the car doors and close all windows.
  2. Park the car in the garage.
  3. Use protection devices like alarms or clubs. When parked on the street, turn the wheels against the curb so that the steering wheel is locked up.
  4. Never leave the car key in the ignition or leave the car with the engine running.
  5. Never leave the house keys in the car. If the car is stolen, you wouldn't want anybody to have access to your home.

  7. Don't wait until you park your car to place articles in the trunk. You never know when you might be watched.
5669Auto InsuranceWhat is an insurance policy contract? It is an agreement between you and the insurance company, where the insurance company assumes part of the responsibility in certain risk situations in exchange for a premium. An insurance policy not only seems important... It is!
5375Auto InsuranceHow can I save money in an auto policy?
  • The premiums differ among companies. The type of vehicle you drive, your driving history, age, gender, place of work, place of residence, and the distance between your home and your workplace are factors that determine the insurance premium.
  • The premiums of a vehicle insurance policy are based on a series of factors - among them, the model and year as well as the expected mileage. The insurance companies are interested in lowering the premiums, but this depends on the previous loss experience they have had with similar vehicles. Most of them have developed advertising to foster more responsible driving, so that the incidence of accidents drops and the premiums are reduced accordingly.
  • There are some ways to reduce the premium cost of insurance policy:
    1. Compare the premiums of a policy with different deductible alternatives. The higher the deductible, the lower the premium would be.
    2. If your vehicle is fairly old, it may not be a good idea to have a high coverage in the collision clause.
    3. The more expensive and luxurious your vehicle is, the higher the premium will be. Keep this in mind when shopping for a car.
    4. Compare different premiums and insurance policies in different insurance companies.
    5. Some insurance companies provide discounts if you have more than one car insured by them.
5385Life InsuranceDo I need a medical examination to obtain life insurance?Sometimes, it is required, depending on the type of coverage. Usually, insurance companies require brief medical exams to get their clients the best rate possible. This medical exam consists of a medical history, blood pressure and cholesterol level tests.  
5387Life InsuranceHow do I know how much coverage I need? What is a life insurance?A life insurance gives protection to the beneficiaries in case the insured dies. The policy substitutes the loss of income to the beneficiaries or pays their debts. Life insurance is specific per person.  
5389Life InsuranceHow much time is required to obtain a life insurance?The process of obtaining life insurance is one of several stages. Unlike other types of insurance it requires a medical examination and more attention.  
5381Homeowner's InsuranceWhy do I need homeowners insurance?It's a necessary protection. The reason to hold this type of insurance policy is not because your mortgage lender requires it, but rather because it protects something you cannot afford to loose - your home. What would happen if an earthquake or windstorm destroyed your house? What if your possessions are stolen? What if your dog bites your neighbor? What if your guest suffers physical injuries in your home? These and some other events can affect you economically if you do not have homeowners insurance.  
5409Homeowner's InsuranceWhat happens if I just remodeled my insured home?You should revise your policy to adjust it to your property’s new value. However, before you contact Popular Insurance, you should have your property appraised or at least you should know the total cost of the renovation. Keep a record with the evidence of your expenses for future reference.  
5411Homeowner's InsuranceIs flood insurance covered under my policy?In general, flood insurance is not covered under dwelling policies; however, it may be covered under your automobile policy if you have comprehensive coverage on your automobile. Flood insurance for homes is administered through the National Flood Insurance Program. Contact Popular Insurance for more information.  
5413Homeowner's InsuranceHow will I receive payment?The corresponding insurance company will mail you a draft. The draft may be made out to you and your vendor or to you and your mortgage/lienholder company.  
5671Homeowner's InsuranceHow do you determine the property structure limit to be insured? It's important to determine how much it would cost to rebuild a house if it is destroyed by a fire, hurricane, or any other natural disaster. The value of your home’s structure will be determined by how much it would cost to replace it, as determined through appraisal.
5371InsuranceAre insurance products insured by the FDIC?The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) insures the deposits of clients in a bank against loss. Since the insurance products are not deposits, they cannot be insured by the FDIC or by any federal or local agency.  
5373InsuranceWhat do you mean when you say that insurance products are not obligations nor guarantees of the Bank or any of its subsidiaries?A deposit is a contract between the bank and its clients. An insurance policy is a contract between the insurance company and its clients. This is the reason why the insurance policy is not an obligation of the bank or of its subsidiaries.  
5383PropertyWhat would happen if certain belongings, such as computers, cameras, jewelry, etc., have a higher replacement value than the basic limits of the policy?The basic coverage of your Homeowner policy will not necessarily be sufficient to provide full protection for the belongings, if they surpass the basic limits specified in the policy. For an additional premium you may obtain extender coverage to add protection to additional items you may want to include.  
5653PropertyDoes my Property Insurance include Flood Coverage? Flood insurance is usually not covered in home insurance policies. This insurance is managed through the National Flood Insurance Program under the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), or through private insurance companies. If your property is in a flood zone, your mortgage creditor, insurance representative, or insurance company could require an additional Flood Insurance Policy. Click here to get more information from Popular Insurance.
5673PropertyIn the contents coverage, what is the difference between replacement cost and actual cash value?

The contents coverage may be contracted with the actual cash value (ACV) or replacement cost.

The replacement cost is the amount that you would need at the moment a loss occurs, to replace, reconstruct or repair the damage personal property with materials or items similar in class and quality, without deduction for depreciation. On the other hand, the actual cash value is the amount resulting from deducting from the replacement cost the depreciation of the property through time. If you select a Personal Package with actual cash value (ACV), when a claim arises the insurer will adjust the cost of the personal property affected by the depreciation.

We recommend you evaluate the total value of your personal property by making an inventory and determining if you need to increase this limit at an additional cost, or change it to replacement cost for an additional premium.

5675PropertyHow often is a Property Insurance Policy renewed? Every year. You will receive a notice from Popular Insurance with information about the available insurance alternatives, according to your needs.
5677PropertyI’m in the process of buying or refinancing. How can I decide which is the right policy for me?

As part of your mortgage closing process, you will need to insure your property. It is important to learn about the available insurance alternatives and choose the one that best fits your needs.

You have the right to select your insurance sales representative. If you choose Popular Insurance we will begin to work for you.

We will also send you information about the alternatives available in the market for property insurance policies.

You should review this information as soon as you receive it, and call us! We can guide and help you choose the insurance that best fits your needs and budget.

6187PropertyGlossary - Property Insurance Term Description Premium The premium is the name given to the cost of your insurance. In property insurance, the premium varies based on different factors, such as type of construction, i.e. wood or cement, whether it's occupied by its owner or empty, and the limit for the insurance you acquire. Deductible The deductible is a way of sharing the risk of loss with the insurance company. It is the amount you are required to pay out of pocket on each claim before the insurance company starts paying. It may be stated as a percent of the total insured limit or as a fixed amount. Hazard A hazard is the cause of the loss covered under the insurance policy. Some examples of hazards are fire, earthquakes, hurricanes, or vandalism. When a claim is submitted, the insurance company will evaluate whether the claimed damage was caused by an insured hazard. We urge you to read your policy in order to identify the covered hazards and their exclusions. Limit The limit in a property insurance is the maximum insurance amount covered in the policy. In terms of the structure coverage, the limit should be the replacement cost of your property, not the market value of your home. The insurance limit that is right for you may change over time. You should review it regularly to make sure you are well protected. Replacement cost The replacement cost is the amount of money needed to rebuild or replace your property with materials of equal or similar quality after a loss. The replacement cost does not include the value of the land. The replacement cost may change over time or as a result of home improvements performed. Make sure to review your replacement cost and update your insurance limits. Coinsurance The coinsurance is the penalty applied if the minimum amount of insurance covered under the policy (the insured limit) is less than the minimum cost for reconstruction or replacement required by your policy. If you do not maintain adequate limits in your policy, your claim payment may be reduced. Avoid coinsurance penalties by reviewing your limits regularly.

5239International BankingWhy bank or invest with BPPR?

By choosing to bank with us at Banco Popular, you are opening an offshore account. Simply defined, an offshore bank account is an account held in a bank that is located outside your country of residence. Usually such an account offers certain financial and/or legal benefits to the holder of the account. We offer:

  • Tax-efficient offshore savings and investments. All interest is paid gross.
  • A heritage of 116 years of service with a name you can trust and feel secure.
  • Fully bilingual, professional International Banking Center staff that provides complete, diligent and excellent service to our customers.
  • The economic and political stability of Puerto Rico provides security of your deposits.
  • Banco Popular’s adherence to U.S. compliance regulations provides additional guaranty of your deposits.
5241International BankingWho can benefit by banking offshore?If you live in a country which is politically or economically unstable, you may choose to place your money offshore in order to protect your assets more effectively. You can benefit if you’re planning to move or retire abroad, or are already living in another country. You can also benefit if you have homes or commitments in more than one country but prefer to keep your money in a stable, secure, FDIC insured jurisdiction.  
5243International BankingDo I have to pay income tax on income I’ve earned offshore?Some countries require residents to declare their income on a worldwide basis, where tax is payable on all your income.  In certain circumstances the income of an entity which you control may also be taxable. Most countries have no restrictions on where your business interests, investments or bank accounts can be located.  It’s your responsibility to report income to your appropriate tax authority.  
5245International BankingWhat do I need to open an account at the International Banking Center?You need to personally visit our IBC facilities.  As identification, you must have and provide a valid passport when opening an account.  You also have to justify your non-residential status.  The reason for this is that the interest earned in an account based in the IBC is tax-exempt in Puerto Rico.    Generally every six months, the bank does a check to confirm your non-resident status.  Should you decide to establish residency in Puerto Rico, your account will be transferred to one of our local branches. The fees for a resident account are lower than for a non-resident account.
5247International BankingWhat is the minimum opening deposit required for a relation with BPPR?Customers initially open with us a deposit account. We have an array of deposit accounts and certificates of deposit.  The minimum opening balance for most of our accounts is $5,000.  Our Certificates of Deposit have a starting amount of $10,000.  Please see the specific sections of the accounts.
5249International BankingCan I view my non-resident accounts and investments online?Absolutely. Our Internet Banking services give you direct access to your bank account from anywhere in the world, anytime. However, for your protection, we require that account openings, transfers and Certificates of Deposit renewals be done through one of our IBC consultants.  
5251International BankingWhat are the fees and charges for opening accounts?There’s no account opening fee for our non-resident checking or savings accounts. However, a minimum relationship balance must be maintained in order to prevent a monthly service charge from being applied to your account. (See each account for details.)  
5367International BankingIn which currency can I bank or invest?Currently, based on the regulations and policies of Banco Popular, non-residents can only hold bank accounts in U.S. dollars.

6610What happens if I am currently involved in a foreclosure process?

Loss Mitigation options are available even if you are involved in foreclosure process. No matter which stage you are in, you can apply and be evaluated for available options based on your type of loan and personal situation. The most important aspect is to fill out the application and submit the required financial documents. If you do this, the foreclosure process will stop while the bank processes your completed application. This program is free. At Popular we want to help you, so call us at 787-522-1544 and schedule an interview with one of our representatives. Learn more about your options!

6611How is my credit affected if I agree to a Loss Mitigation offer?

It is our obligation to report your mortgage loan payment history and arrears (if any) to the credit bureaus. If you accept a Loss Mitigation option, we will report your mortgage’s current status. If you accept any of our alternatives, we will notify the credit bureaus, informing them of the circumstances and the agreement that was reached.

6612Can I be under the protection of the Bankruptcy Law and be evaluated for the program?

Yes. If you are or were a debtor in bankruptcy, you could apply the Loss Mitigation program and be evaluated for available options based on your type of loan. Depending on the type of bankruptcy we may request authorization from the trustee to proceed to close on the alternative.

6613What is OCIF Law 169?

This is the law that creates a form to apply for benefits under the Loss Mitigation program. Once the form is submitted, it grants the debtor 15 days to complete the application by sending the documents necessary for the evaluation and does not allow foreclosure processes to start or continue the during that period. In order for the law to apply to you, you must fill out the form and submit it at our Loss Mitigation department. You can also mail it to the following address:

Banco Popular de Puerto Rico Loss Mitigation Division (655) PO BOX 362708 San Juan PR 00936-2708

6615When is my mortgage payment effective?

When exactly your payment becomes effective will depend on the channel you use to make the payment and it will be posted on the date it was received. On the Mi Banco Online, Mi Banco Mobile, TelePago and TeleBanco payment channels you must make your payment before 5:00 p.m. for it to be effective the same day. If a payment is made after 5:00 p.m., during the weekend or on a holiday it will be effective the next business day. Also, if you make a payment via Direct Payment, by calling our Mortgage Servicing representatives or going to any of our branches, it will be effective on the date it was received, with the exception of Saturdays and holidays.

6616What is the grace period?

Mortgage loan payments have a grace period of 15 days from the payment due date. If the end of that 15-day period falls on a Saturday, Sunday or holiday, the grace period is automatically extended until the next business day. After this grace period, a late fee will apply as stated in the mortgage promissory note.

6617What does my mortgage payment cover?

When you make a regular mortgage payment, it covers the principal, interest and escrow (if applicable) for a given cycle. Cycles can be either monthly or biweekly, as stipulated in the terms and conditions of the loan.

Example of a regular mortgage payment $1000

Escrow (taxes + insurance) $300.00

Taxes $125.00

Principal $450.00

Interest $250.00

Property Insurance: $175.00

6618Can I make payments to the mortgage principal?

Yes, you can make payments to the mortgage principal at any time, provided that the loan is up to date and payment for the current period has been made. To make a payment, please call 787-775-1100 or 1-800-981-1982 toll free. You can also sign up for Direct Payment and select the amount you want to pay on a recurring basis.

6619Having problems making your payments?

We understand that unexpected situations can affect your finances. If you are experiencing a financially difficult situation, there are Loss Mitigation alternatives that could be an option for you. Click here for more information or call 787.522.1544 to schedule an interview with one of our representatives.

If you want to come to a payment agreement with our collections team, call us at 787.522.1518.

6620Can the regular mortgage payment change?

Yes. The regular mortgage payment may show adjustments in the amount due if there are changes on the items included in the escrow account allocated to pay for insurance policies and/or taxes, as applicable. Should the adjustments cause a change in the payment amount, you will be notified via a document called Escrow Account Annual Disclosure Statement that will be mailed to you before the new payment becomes effective. In addition, this change will show up on your monthly periodic statement.

The mortgage’s interest rate will not change, unless it has been agreed and is stated in the terms and conditions of the loan.

7429Mortgage ServicesPeriodic statement

Every month you will receive an account statement that includes the following information:

  1. Mortgage loan account number
  2. Payment due date, breakdown, and total amount due

7430Mortgage ServicesEscrow Account

The escrow account is where funds are deposited to cover insurance and property tax obligations. If the loan has an escrow account, the regular mortgage payment includes a portion for these purposes.

The escrow portion of regular mortgage payments (if applicable) are deposited in an escrow account and Popular issues property tax and/or insurance payments, as applicable, based on their respective due dates. Insurance is renewed on an annual basis and property taxes are paid semi-annually.

Popular’s Mortgage Servicing team analyzes the escrow account every year. The purpose of this analysis is to calculate the balances needed to cover property tax and insurance obligations. Also, the analysis determines the amount you must pay every month into the escrow account and identify if there are deficiencies or surpluses in said account.

Once the analysis is completed you will receive, via regular mail, a document known as the Annual Escrow Account Statement.

You need to be aware that changes in payments are caused by the outcome of the escrow account’s analysis and resulting from premium changes in property insurance policy renewals or adjustments in the property tax Municipal Revenue Collection Center (CRIM, by its acronym in Spanish) billing process.

What is the Annual Escrow Account Statement?

It’s a document we will send you by mail every year after the escrow account analysis. This document provides the following information:

  1. The new regular mortgage payment and the portion to be deposited into the escrow account over the next 12 months.
  2. Amount of the previous monthly payment and the portion that was deposited into the escrow account.
  3. Total amount deposited into the escrow account last year.
  4. Total amount paid from the escrow account for property tax and insurance premiums last year.
  5. Escrow account balance.
  6. Escrow account history (disbursements / accruals / contributions) during the past 12 months.
  7. A projection of disbursements and contributions over the next 12 months.
  8. If there is a deficiency or surplus and how they are managed.

What happens if after conducting the annual analysis, the escrow account reflects a surplus or deficiency?

Following the annual analysis, if the escrow account shows a surplus of $49 or less, it will be applied to the next escrow account payments; if it is equal to or greater than $50, it will be returned to you in a check within 30 days after the account analysis.

If the escrow account shows a deficiency, it will be charged in equal amounts over a term of no less than 12 months as established in the Annual Statement; therefore, your regular mortgage payment will increase.

Remember that changes in insurance or property taxes have a direct impact on your monthly payment.

You can download an example of the escrow account analysis sent by Popular at the following link.

7433Property InsuranceHazard Insurance

Hazard insurance protects the property’s structure against any damage caused by fire, hurricane, or earthquake. Its purpose is to cover the risk of loss and, if damages occur from a covered event, allow you to rebuild the property, subject to the provisions of your mortgage contract.

It is important that as a property owner, you:

  • Keep your property properly insured
  • Keep your insurance agent informed of any changes in the structure, use, or occupation
  • Check that the description of your property and the limits insured in the policy are adequate

All property serving as collateral for a mortgage loan must have insurance to protect the structure against fire, hurricane, and earthquake risks.

Payment for this policy will be considered within the projected disbursements in the escrow account analysis and may affect your monthly payment. If the cost of your policy increases, your monthly payment could be higher.

This type of insurance does not cover losses due to floods, landslides, or tsunamis. If the property is in an area prone to these events, you must procure an additional policy that covers those risks.

If you want coverage for the contents (furniture or other valuable items) of your property, please contact your insurance agent for guidance.

7434Property InsuranceFlood Insurance

This insurance covers losses in the event of partial or total damage caused by a flood. The federal government requires this policy if your home is financed and located in a flood zone, according to maps from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).

Flood insurance only covers the property’s structure. This policy does not cover the content, such as furniture or other valuable items. If you want to insure your property’s content, please contact your insurance agent.

There are two times to determine if a property locates in a flood zone:

  1. During the origination of the mortgage loan, a zone determination is made to certify if the property is in a flood zone.
  2. During the years that the loan remains active:
    1. We receive periodic updates of Puerto Rico’s flood maps. If there are changes to the maps, Zone Determinations are requested. If the property is in an area that is now prone to flooding, we will send you a notice requiring that the property be insured against this risk.
    2. As the owner, co-signer, or successor, you can ask us for a Flood Zone Determination to establish whether the property is in a flood zone. You will have to pay the cost of the study.

If the property was not identified as being in a flood zone at the time when the loan originated and is later identified as such, it will require flood insurance; therefore, the regular mortgage payment will increase.

7436Property InsuranceInsurance Selection

You have the right to select the agent and/or insurance company of your choice. However, Popular has a duty to make sure that the company and the insurance meet the standards set by regulators and investors. The policy must meet the requirements established by Banco Popular.

7437Property InsuranceInsurance Renewals

Insurance policies are valid for one year, so the renewal process is done on an annual basis.

On loans whose regular mortgage payments include a portion to pay for insurance, we will make the payment directly to the agency and/or insurance company on the due date.

On loans whose regular mortgage payments do not include a portion to pay for insurance, you must send us the new policy and a payment certification before the policy renewal date.

Email both documents to our Insurance unit at: segurospropiedad@popular.com. Please remember to write your loan number on all documents.

If we do not receive evidence of your paid policy, we will purchase a policy at your cost, as required by current law, 45 days after notifying you of the expiration of the coverage.

Remember that Hazard or Flood insurance policies, if required, must be renewed annually during the life of the loan. When the loan is canceled, we will ask the insurance company to eliminate Popular as the mortgagee. If the property guarantees more than one loan, you must keep the policy active.

To request the replacement of a policy, you can send us the new policy at least 30 days before its expiration date so it can be paid with the funds held in your escrow account.

If you send it after 30 days of its expiration date, it must be submitted with a Payment Certification.

All documents related to insurance premiums must be emailed to: segurospropiedad@popular.com.

Property Damage

In the event your property is damaged by fire, hurricane, earthquake, or flood, you should immediately contact your agent or insurance company to file a claim.

It is important that before contacting the company, you:

  1. Prepare a written document with a detailed explanation of the specific damages, including:
    • Physical address of the property
    • Name of the Insured
    • Policy number
  2. This document must be filed with the insurance company as soon as possible for their review. In addition:
    • Take photos and/or videos as evidence of the damages claimed
    • Once the insurance claim has been submitted, you must provide evidence to update our records. Email it to segurospropiedad@popular.com

If you cannot find the insurance policy number, our staff can provide it along with the insurance company’s contact information.

Important: During this process, you must continue making your regular mortgage loan payments.

7450Property Taxes (CRIM)What is the exoneration?

The exoneration consists of a benefit granted by law to taxpayers of not having to pay taxes on the property that is used as their main residence, up to a maximum of $15,000 of appraised valuation for tax purposes. This applies only to one home per taxpayer, as well as other applicable legal requirementsup to a maximum of one cuerda (a unit of land area equivalent to 0.971 acres).

If a taxpayer owns more than one property, they must identify which property is used as their main residence and request the exoneration benefit. For detailed information on the exoneration granted to your property, please contact your regional CRIM office or visit their website (www.crimpr.net).

7439Property Taxes (CRIM)What is an exemption?

An exemption is benefit granted by law to taxpayers of not having to pay taxes on the property that is used as their main residence, up to a maximum of $15,000 of appraised valuation for tax purposes. This applies only to one home per taxpayer, as well as other applicable legal requirements.

If a taxpayer owns more than one property, they must identify which property is used as their main residence and request the exoneration benefit.

Exemptions also consists of the partial or total release of the charges or tax payment on a property according to what is stipulated by law at the CRIM agency. The exemption may have an effective term depending on the type of exemption granted.

For detailed information on exemptions granted to your property, please contact your regional CRIM office or visit their website (www.crimpr.net).

7440Property Taxes (CRIM)Who is responsible for paying property taxes?

Property taxes are the responsibility of the taxpayer. The Bank, in its role as loan servicer, acts as a withholding entity to issue payments to CRIM.

It is important that mortgage clients notify the Bank of any tax status changes to ensure that their tax information is consistent with that featured on CRIM’s records.

7441Property Taxes (CRIM)What is the cadastral number?

The cadastral number is the unique identification assigned to a property by CRIM. It is a 16-digit number distributed in the following manner:

Municipality

Map

Block

Plot

Property use or type

7442Property Taxes (CRIM)What is a supplement bill or special bill?

CRIM may issue additional bills at any time during the fiscal year. The agency sends these bills directly to taxpayers, which consist of an additional tax bill on the property due to any of the following reasons:

  • Appraisal of new property for tax purposes
  • Revaluation of property “reassessment or adjustments in values”
  • Revoking the exoneration and/or exemption
  • Undue exoneration
  • Segregation of the property
7443Property Taxes (CRIM)What is an overdue debt?

Overdue debts are regular bills issued by CRIM in July and January (semi-annual receipts) that were not paid on their designated dates. These bills are known as overdue debt because their payment due date has expired. It is important for you to be aware that these bills can include interest and penalties (surcharges) accumulated after their respective due dates.

7444Property Taxes (CRIM)What should I do if my property does not appear in my name on CRIM’s records?

If you look up the property’s information by cadastral number at a CRIM office or at their website and you find that your property is not registered in your name, you must go to your region’s CRIM office and request a correction. You may be asked to provide some documentation.

If you have already filed the documentation at the agency (document stamped by CRIM), you must visit the regional CRIM office and ask that the corresponding correction be made or applied.

7487Successor in Interest and Transfer of OwnershipSuccessor in Interest

A successor in interest is a person to whom a debtor could transfer the ownership interest on a property that secures a loan in any of the following circumstances or by virtue of law:

  • To a relative or heir after the debtor’s death
  • To the debtor’s spouse or children
  • By decree of dissolution of marriage or legal separation agreement, or
  • An inter-vivos trust in which the Debtor is and continues to be the Beneficiary and which does not refer to a usufruct right

You can request the information needed to be confirmed as a successor in interest for the purposes of receiving the loan’s monthly statements and other information.

For example, as part of this process, we may require the following documents (among others):

  • Death certificate
  • Declaration of heirs
  • Testament with its corresponding certification of having been the last one granted, or
  • Any document that can reliably prove that you are a successor in interest of the deceased loan borrower
7446Successor in Interest and Transfer of OwnershipTransfer of Ownership

It is very important that you obtain guidance before transferring ownership of your property to a third party. To transfer ownership, you must request express approval from the Bank and the result will depend on the type of loan, the Bank’s requirements, the investor or guarantor, and the circumstances of the request.

Usually, there is a clause in the loan documents that prohibits the transfer of property to a third party without prior authorization from the Bank. Therefore, you need to contact our Mortgage Servicing representatives before any legal document is notarized or you agree to transfer this property to another owner.

If you would like to contact us to address any of these issues, talk to one of our service representatives at 787.775.1100787.775.1100. They can provide information about the process and let you know the specific requirements for your type of loan and the documentation that may be required.

7447Documents for My Tax ReturnForm 480.7A

8822Commercial AccountsOverdraft Charges Back Overdraft Policy
  • 1. What charges could be imposed due to insufficient or non-available funds?
    • Fee for returned transaction due to insufficient or non-available funds: This fee occurs when you don’t have enough or available funds in your account to cover the transaction (also known as NSF) and Banco Popular rejects or returns the transaction.
    • Fee for transaction paid against insufficient or non-available funds: This fee occurs when you don’t have enough or available funds in your account to cover your transaction and Banco Popular pays or covers the transaction. Banco Popular pays overdrafts at its discretion, which means that the Bank reserves the right to authorize and pay overdrafts on checks and/or electronic transactions made with your account number with insufficient or non-available funds to cover such transactions. Paying an overdraft is a discretionary decision by Banco Popular that depends on several factors, including the amount and type of transaction and past activity in your account. If we don’t authorize and don’t pay an overdraft, your transaction will be returned or rejected.
    • Overdraft maintenance fee: A daily fee if your account remains in overdraft for several consecutive days.
    • Financing charge: A fee charged on the average monthly balance in overdraft, subject to an interest rate that can vary by type of product.

    For more information on commercial/ deposit accounts or to access the Commercial Deposit Account Agreement, visit popular.com/en/business/accounts/.

  • 2. In terms of fees for insufficient or non-available funds, what changes will apply effective August 26, 2022?
    • No fee will be charged on transactions returned due to insufficient or non-available funds,
    • Fees will be waived on transactions of $5.00 or less paid against insufficient or non-available funds, and
    • We will no longer charge a daily overdraft maintenance fee.
  • 3. What can I do to avoid an overdraft in my commercial account?
    • Make sure your account always has enough funds to cover your transactions.
    • Check your account balance before making payments or withdrawals at an ATM.
    • Activate the Mi Banco Alerts service to receive a push notification, text message or email with your balance information. Please note that charges for text messages or data overages may apply depending on your cellular service plan. Check with your service provider to learn more about your plan.
    • Check your account’s available balance 24/7 through Mi Banco Comercial and Web Cash Manager℠.
    • Transfer money between your accounts using Mi Banco Comercial and Web Cash Manager℠.
    • Consider requesting a Line of Credit to cover any unexpected transactions. Please note that accepting a Line of Credit is subject to credit approval.
  • 4. Which commercial accounts offer overdraft protection?

    The B-Smart® and the FlexiCuenta de Negocios® accounts offer overdraft protection. These accounts have a Savings-Guaranteed Reserve. When you make purchases and withdrawals at an ATM, the account combines the balance of the checking section and the savings section to authorize the transaction.

    If you don’t have enough funds in the checking section, but you have a balance in the savings section to cover the transaction, Banco Popular will authorize it. Once authorized, the balance transferred from the savings section is withheld (creates a hold) and automatically activates a reserve to cover overdrafts in the checking section. This savings-guaranteed reserve does not require credit approval. Banco Popular charges 5% APR above the interest on the savings section for this service.

    For more information about the Savings-Guaranteed Reserve, click here and access the Commercial Deposit Accounts Agreement.

7827Commercial CreditLines of Credit Back Lines of Credit
  • What is a business line of credit used for?

    The line of credit is used to cover recurring operational needs and short-term working capital.

  • What is revolving financing?

    Revolving financing is a type of credit that allows users to borrow money as needed and then pay it back in periodic increments (usually at maturity with monthly interest). A portion of each payment made goes toward interest. The advantage is that it can be paid in monthly installments or in a single transaction.

  • How can I see information about my line of credit?

    To obtain information about your line of credit, please call the Commercial Support Center at 787.756.3939 or 1.855.756.3939; you can also visit one of our branches.

  • Is there insurance for lines of credit?

    For FlexiLínea and B-Smart® accounts you can acquire the insurance provided by CHUBB Insurance3. Also, as a customer, you can provide your personal insurance.

  • How do lines of credit work?

    Lines of credit are agreements to grant funds for a specific purpose (usually for temporary working capital), up to a predetermined amount whose maximum limit is in effect for the duration of the line. Lines of credit are activated at the customer’s request and require annual review. Their payment frequency is principal at maturity with monthly interest.

  • Which accounts have lines of credit?

    The only two accounts with a line of credit are the FlexiCuenta de Negocios® and the B-Smart ® accounts. However, there are lines of credit that are not tied to any specific account.

  • How do the FlexiCuenta de Negocios® and B-Smart® lines of credit work?

    They are revolving lines of credit in the FlexiCuenta de Negocios® or B-Smart ® reserve module. Available quantities can vary from $5M to $250M, depending on the product. They provide businesses with a credit product that can be used easily and quickly, once approved. These lines of credit are activated to cover transactions in excess of the available balance in your checking account module. Another way to activate the line of credit is by using the special checks intended to activate it. Payment frequency in these line of credit products can be daily or monthly (principal) with monthly interest, and it is a revolving credit.

19637My CreditMy Credit Report Back My Credit Report
  • What is a credit report?

    A credit report is a statement that contains information about your credit activity and current credit situation, such as your loan payment history and the status of your credit accounts.

  • What is a credit score model?

    A credit score model predicts how likely you are to pay a loan back on time. A scoring model uses the information in your credit report to generate a credit score.

  • What factors impact my credit score?

    Factors commonly considered by credit scoring models include:

    • your payment history
    • your current or unpaid debts
    • the number and type of accounts you have
    • how long your credit accounts have been open
    • how much of your available credit you are using
    • new credit inquiries
    • whether you’ve had a debt sent to collections, a foreclosure, or a bankruptcy, and how long ago it occurred
  • How do I dispute and correct inaccurate information in my credit report?

    If you discover information on your credit report that you believe is inaccurate, you can take the following steps to dispute and potentially correct the information.  

    1. Identify the errors on your credit report. 
    2. Gather supporting documents that show your side of the story; for example, receipts or bank records showing that you made a payment on time that’s recorded as late or delinquent.
    3. Submit the information to the bureaus with a brief explanation (100 words or less). 

    You may find that some companies have forms on their websites that you can use. 

    You can also submit your information directly to the reporting lender. 

    After you submit your claim, you may need to wait 30 to 45 days before it’s resolved and the corrected information appears on your credit report. Note however, that if the inquiry confirms that the information is accurate, the bureau or lender won’t change it. 

    If your claim is related to the credit information provided by Popular, you may request a review by writing to us. Please describe the specific information that is incorrect, including supporting documentation, and send it to the following address:

    Banco Popular de Puerto Rico PO Box 71589 San Juan, PR 00936

    The letter must include the following information:

    • Full name
    • Mailing address
    • Account number in question
    • Date of birth
    • A detailed description of the issue and the resolution you are seeking

    If your claim is denied and you disagree with the resolution and wish to have your dispute reviewed further, other avenues for continuing the review include filing a complaint with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( Submit a complaint | Consumer Financial Protection Bureau) or through the Office of the Commissioner of Financial Institutions. 

  • How is my credit score calculated?

    In addition to calculating credit scores themselves, the three major credit bureaus, Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion, provide detailed information about a consumer’s credit activity to other companies that calculate a credit score. The two major companies providing credit scores are FICO® and VantageScore. Each uses a proprietary method to calculate their score. 

    FICO ® produces several models of their FICO® Score to evaluate different types of lending. Models also vary depending on which bureaus provide the data for them. The most common model is FICO ® Score 8, which along with FICO® Score 9, are widely used for lending. Both use data from all bureaus, as do most other models. 

    FICO® Score models that are more specific include FICO ® Auto Score and FICO® Bankcard Score, for lending associated with car purchases and credit card applications.  

    Mortgage lending uses FICO ® Score 2, FICO® Score 5, and FICO® Score 4, which use data from only one of the three bureaus. 

    Disclaimer: FICO® Scores are developed independently by Fair Isaac Corporation. Most, but not all, lenders use FICO® Scores to determine a consumer's credit worthiness. We're not affiliated with FICO® and have no influence on producing a FICO® Score. 

  • How do I improve my credit score?

    You can take several steps to improve your credit score, but be aware that there are no quick fixes. You may be able to see your score tick up soon after you start trying to improve it. However, credit reports are updated month by month and it may take several months or even years before your credit score is where you want it to be. 

    1. Pay your bills on time. Late and delinquent payments make up much of what determines your credit score. You need to establish a good record of timely payments. Consider setting up autopay for your accounts.
    2. Reduce your credit utilization. Credit utilization is another important factor in calculating your credit score. Keeping low balances on revolving accounts, such as credit cards, will help improve your score. You can also reduce credit utilization by requesting an increase in your credit line—as long as you don’t use the increase in your limit to increase debt.
    3. Avoid opening multiple accounts within a short period. When you apply for credit, the prospective lender makes a hard credit inquiry, which is reported to the bureaus. Lenders may interpret making multiple credit applications as you facing financial troubles and looking to increase debt as a way out.
    4. If you have no credit history, or a thin credit history, you can look into other ways to help you build one. One solution is a credit builder loan, where you make payments into an account over a set period of time (usually one or two years). These payments are reported to the bureaus, so you build a credit history. Credit cards are also an option for building credit history, as some financial institutions offer credit cards without requiring a prior credit history.
    5. Keep older accounts open. Length of credit history works for you. The longer you have an account open, the more stable you look to the bureaus.
    6. Consolidate your debts. Too many accounts may work against you. Consolidating multiple debts into a single loan or line of credit makes managing your debt easier. Instead of making multiple monthly payments, you can pay off your debt with a single payment to one creditor. However, be cautious not to increase your credit utilization.
    7. Use credit monitoring. Improving your credit score is a project, a credit monitoring app is a critical tool for helping you manage your credit profile.  

    These recommendations do not guarantee a specific increase in your credit score, as each credit history is different and other factors may also influence the outcome.

  • Why is your score different from others I see, such as Credit Karma or other banking apps?

    Each of the three credit bureaus (Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion) uses a different model to calculate a credit score and each gathers data independently.  

    The credit bureaus pull your information from many different sources (such as lenders, collections, court records) at different times, there will often be discrepancies at any particular time between the reports from each credit bureau. 

    The financial institutions and companies that provide your credit score use different methods. The most used models are FICO® Score 8 and VantageScore 3.0. Both range from 300 to 850.

  • Why do the reported dates differ between accounts? Does that mean my score isn’t up to date?

    Lenders generally update their data on a monthly basis. However, the lenders may report data at various times during the month. If you’re waiting for a specific update, such as corrected information from a dispute, remember that it can take up to 45 days for the updated information to appear on your credit report.

  • How secure is my credit data? Does anyone else, such as portal admins, have access to any of my information?

    Your credit data is fully encrypted and secure. No one else has access to your information. 

  • How frequently is my overall credit score updated in Mi Crédito?

    Your credit score is updated in Mi Crédito every 30 days after your enrollment date.

  • Can I get the credit information displayed on the platform sent to my email?

    You can securely access your credit information online through Mi Crédito, where you can download it in a PDF document. For security reasons, we won’t send your credit information by email.

  • If my spouse and I share lines of credit, mortgages, or loans, will I be able to access their information?

    You and your spouse can see the information from all shared accounts, but having some shared accounts doesn’t allow you or them access information about any non-shared financial accounts.

  • How long do public records stay on my file?

    Derogatory information can stay on your record for 7 – 10 years from the date the public record was filed or the last reported delinquency. 

  • Can I dispute an inquiry for a loan I never actually got?

    You can dispute it, however as part of your application, you would have provided permission for the lender to make a hard credit inquiry. The inquiry goes in your credit report whether you’re approved for the loan or not. If you believe a financial institution has made an inquiry without your authorization, you can contact the institution to request an explanation or file a dispute directly with the credit bureaus.

  • When will closed accounts come off my credit report?

    Any accounts that were in good standing when you closed them will remain in your record for 10 years. Any closed account with negative information will remain for seven years.

  • How do I lower the monthly payments on my loans?

    You can lower your monthly loan payments in a few ways: 

    • If you’re paying on multiple credit cards, you can consolidate your debt into one card. The payment on a single card will likely be lower than the total of the payments made to several cards. 
    • You can negotiate with your creditors to ask for a lower interest rate or lower monthly payments by extending the loan term.

19642My CreditDebt Analysis Back Debt Analysis
  • Do creditors always look at gross income instead of net when calculating debt to income ratio?

    It depends on each creditor whether they use net income or gross income for debt analysis.

  • Why am I not seeing all of the credit data I would expect?

    Newer accounts may not show up on your credit report because the creditor hasn’t started reporting them yet.

  • What do I do if some of this information is incorrect?

    If you see information in your credit report that you think is incorrect, you can dispute it with the creditor or the bureaus. For more information, see the question How do I dispute and correct inaccurate information in my credit report?

19647My CreditCredit Score Factors Back Credit Score Factors
  • How long does it take before a late payment stops impacting my score?

    Late payments will stay in record for the life of the account. You can dispute a late payment report that you believe is in error, however you will need to provide proof, such as documentation that you did make the payment in question on time.

  • What is a charge off?

    A charge off is an entry in your credit report that indicates that a creditor has tried and failed to get a debtor to make good on overdue payments and has closed the account. 

    A charge off can have a strongly negative impact on your credit score. 

  • If I’m contacted by a debt collector and I pay immediately, will the debt show up on my credit report anyway? Do I have a grace period?

    If your account is in arrears, it’s likely that you will be contacted by a debt collector. The negative effects of a payment that is successively overdue stack up and will stay on your credit report for seven years. Also, the information that the account was charged off or canceled (in case of a revolving account, closed by the financial institution) will remain for the same amount of time regardless of whether you paid off the debt with the debt collector. 

    Usually the financial institutions grant a grace period before they send the debt to collection. However, once the debt is sold to the debt collector, the damage to your credit is already done. 

  • What influences how long collections of public records stay on your credit report? Are there set periods of time per type of record?

    A chapter 7 bankruptcy will remain on your credit report for 10 years from the date it was filed or from the last reported delinquency. Accounts that you closed in good standing will remain in your record for 10 years. Accounts that were closed involuntarily (by the financial institution) will remain in your record for seven years from the last reported delinquency. 

    The amount of time that bureaus keep this account information is determined by the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). Because financial institutions want this information when they determine risk in extending credit, the bureaus provide it.

  • Do closed credit cards count toward credit age?

    Credit age is determined by the account that has been open the longest on your credit report. Even if the account is closed, the time it was open will still contribute to your overall credit age.

  • Why do closed accounts count toward total accounts?

    Closed accounts will continue to count towards payment history for up to 10 years if you closed them in good standing and for up to 7 years for accounts closed with delinquency. 

    Closing an account, however, may adversely affect your credit utilization ratio, which takes into account the amount of available credit compared to the amount of credit you’ve used. For example, if you have three credit cards with credit limits of $1000 each and a balance of $200 on one, $400 on another, and $0 on the third, you have a total credit limit of $3000 of which $600 of credit is used. Your credit utilization ratio is 20%, which is pretty good. If you close the account that has a zero balance, you now have two accounts with a $2000 credit limit, of which $600 is used. Your new credit utilization ratio is 30%, which may negatively affect your credit score because, even though you haven’t added any debt, you now have a higher amount of debt in relation to your credit limit. Alternatively, if you paid off the credit card with a $400 balance and closed the account, you’d have a $2000 limit, of which $200 is used. Your credit utilization ratio would then be 10%, which may improve your credit score. 

  • How many total accounts is too many accounts?

    There’s no set number of credit accounts that’s optimal or suboptimal. Having multiple credit card accounts can help you maintain a good debt to credit ratio, but having too much debt spread across multiple accounts can have a negative impact. 

  • Does it hurt my total accounts scoring if my accounts have a high balance or missed payments?

    Total accounts make up 10% of your FICO® Score. This is a separate consideration from your total balance owed, which makes up 30% of your score, and your payment history, which makes up 35% of your score.

19652My CreditCredit Score Simulator Back Credit Score Simulator
  • How are the simulated scores calculated?

    Credit Score Simulator uses calculations that are similar to Experian, which uses the VantageScore 3.0 model. 

  • How accurate are these simulations?

    Credit Score Simulator is an educational tool that you can use for estimating the effect of certain financial actions on your credit score—but remember, they are estimations only, not predictions. The actual results may be different. 

  • Why is the maximum three months for what happens if I miss a payment on an account?

    Timely payment on your accounts is important for your credit health. A payment is considered late if it’s made past the grace period (typically about 4 – 5 days) and before 30 days past due. At 30 days past due, which is a full payment cycle, your account will be considered in default and it will have a negative impact in your credit history. 

    The effect of late payments, default, and delinquency make up 35% of your FICO® Score and 41% of your VantageScore. 

  • Will my credit score be affected if I use the Mi Crédito platform?

    No, your credit score will not be affected by using the platform. This tool is for informational and personal monitoring purposes only.
