Sometimes it is difficult to understand how some very large companies with thousands of employees they have extremely low-level applications, especially when they are used by a large percentage of customers and result in a user experience that is as frustrating as it is flawed. Banco Popular was hanging around that group ... until the last update of its application.
Everything improves
The application is simply better in all aspects. We can find news in every corner, starting with a completely renewed interface that bets on light tones to give a greater sense of space and cleanliness when using the app. In addition, interactive graphics are included to have a more logical representation of money, and the possibility of entering the private part of the application without using a username and password thanks to the implementation of Touch ID technology for our fingerprint identification. fingerprint.
In terms of operations, we can more easily carry out Money transfers to other accounts, consult all the movements that have occurred in the account, contract deposits so that our money gives us some (modest at the moment) interest and of course manage our periodic receipts with total freedom.
More features
In addition to the interesting list of improvements mentioned above, this new update includes other functions such as locating branches and ATMs based on our location, the possibility of customizing the application in certain aspects and it also helps us to contact the bank in case we want to establish communication with its help support or with the social networks team.
It should be mentioned that in this version there is also a difference between iPhone and iPad, which means that the version for Apple's tablet is not limited to being expanded and has been designed with the dimensions of the iPhone's older brother in mind. It seems from the perspective that large corporations are also beginning to realize that a quality application provides countless benefits and even new customers thanks to reviews in the App Store and word of mouth, so it will be interesting to see if other banks sign up for their app renewals in the near future.
By the way, a last minute warning: this application should not be confused with the so-called "Banco Popular", still offered in the App Store by the bank and that it is not up to date.
