Banco Popular Enables QR Bre-B Collection for Promigas Group Utilities

Banco Popular has integrated QR Bre-B collection for three Promigas group companies (Surtigas, Gases de Occidente, Compañía Energética de Occidente), enabling over two million users to pay utility bills via apps or wallets. This expands Colombia's instant payment ecosystem into the utilities sector, potentially increasing financial inclusion and transaction efficiency. The move is a commercial development with limited macro impact.
