Opening your first bank account, stretching your budget until the end of the month, and understanding credit are decisions that shape the beginning of any university student's financial journey.
That is why Popular brings financial guidance and student-focused banking solutions directly to universities across the island through a series of College Tours, which recently stopped at the Universidad del Sagrado Corazón.
The initiative responds to needs expressed by students. While they value digital tools, they also seek human connection and personalized guidance when making financial decisions that shape their future.
This semester, the tour has visited the Universidad Politécnica, several campuses of the Universidad Interamericana, MechTech and Automeca, UPR Carolina, Ana G. Méndez University in Gurabo, and UPR Mayagüez, among others, with additional stops scheduled through October.
October 21 · Carolina
September 24 · Bayamón
At each stop, students can enjoy entertainment and receive one-on-one guidance about Mi Cuenta Uni and savings accounts. Some visits also include budget management workshops featuring real-life student spending scenarios and demonstrations of the Budget Worksheet, our free expense-tracking tool.
The experience is enhanced through special Visa partnerships on selected campuses, interactive activities, and exclusive giveaways available only during tour stops.
When the College Tour reaches your university, make the most of it: open a Mi Cuenta Uni account, explore the savings option that best fits your goals, and speak with the Popular team to begin your path toward financial independence.
Because your financial life does not begin when you graduate. It starts today, on campus or at popular.com/futureme.
