Banco Popular (Nasdaq:BPOP) is extending its reach as one of the premier community banks in the U.S. by adding access to thousands of surcharge-free ATMs through Allpoint® Network, the largest surcharge-free ATM network. Through the partnership Banco Popular is now connected to communities across America, providing its customers with surcharge-free access to 33,000 ATMs in leading national and local merchant locations.
