Banco ADOPEM has taken part in the 29th edition of Expo Cibao 2016, where it presented its products and services to the 2,000 visitors at this business fair, which brings together institutions from different sectors in the region of Cibao.
One of these products was its Education Loan, which increases access to financial services for the student population and allows them to enroll in, continue and complete their technical and higher studies.
