* CTS Funds Being Withdrawn Quickly: Approximately 40% of workers withdraw almost all of their Compensación por Tiempo de Servicios (CTS – a fund similar to unemployment insurance) funds in the first month after receiving them. This is leading to a decline in CTS deposits at Caja ica (a financial institution).

* Caja Ica App & Future Plans: The Caja Ica application offers various services like transfers, payments, loans, and account opening.
* Automated Loan Scoring: Caja Ica will implement automated scoring for loan applications to provide quicker evaluations and loan terms.
* Microinsurance & Rewards program: Caja Ica plans to expand the sale of microinsurance and its benefits program (discounts on restaurants, beauty, transportation, hotels) through the app and visa debit card, rewarding customers for using digital payment methods.
