Nicaraguan banks increase remittances transfers

An increasing number of Nicaraguan immigrants prefer to use banks to send remittances back home, the country's central bank said.

Of the $277 million Nicaragua received in remittances in the first quarter this year, $90 million were processed through the country's banks.

The central bank says that increase comes as customers prefer the lower transfer fees and related products that the banks offer.
