Discover said the deal will enable the bank merchant customers with access to Discover and Diners Club International networks, and allows its cardmembers to use their cards wherever they shop in Puerto Rico.
Discover vice president of global acceptance Gerry Wagner said the relationship with Puerto Rico’s largest commercial bank marks an important growth opportunity for Discover on the island.
Banco Popular Retail Credit Division senior vice president Fabio Garcia said that the bank is enthusiastic about the opportunities that the partnership with Discover and its members will create for bank’s more than 20,000 merchant locations, and pleased to add the Discover and Diners Club cards as payment options for more than a million visitors that make Puerto Rico a top travel destination.
