Popular, Inc., doing business as Banco Popular in Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands and as Popular Community Bank in the United States, is a financial services conglomerate that has been operating in Puerto Rico for almost 120 years and in the United States for over 52 years. In recent years, it has expanded into other areas of the Caribbean and Central America. The BPPR in the logo stands for Banco Popular de Puerto Rico, where the bank has its major historical footprint.
Popular, Inc. is the parent company of Banco Popular de Puerto Rico, Banco Popular North America, E-Loan, and several other companies.
The headquarters of Banco Popular Puerto Rico are located in Hato Rey, Puerto Rico.
The bank was founded in Puerto Rico in 1893 when the island was still under Spanish administration, and was led in its early stages by Rafael Carrión, Sr.
During the 1970s, the company's commercials were very popular on Puerto Rican television: they presented a balding, middle aged man in a white tee shirt, announcing the company in a comic way. The 1970s also saw a giant step in the development of Banco Popular as Puerto Rico's biggest bank, when it bought two-thirds of the Banco de Crédito y Ahorro Ponceño. By buying this bank, Popular entered the credit-card industry.
I met her at the club in a pair of high heels
That'ssexy type, words can't explain how she made me feel
I'ma first night, red lipstick, red dress, I'm braggin but she's blessed
I've told my boys I'm in love with the girl in red
And that's when they said:
Chorus:
You must be crazy, what you're doin, doin doin
Don't you know what bout the girl
That you've been screwin, screwin, screwin, screwin, screwin
She's the most popular girl in town, professional she go down

And that's when he said:
Chorus:
You must be crazy, what you're doin, doin doin

She's the most popular girl in town, professional she go down
