  • Banco Promerica and Instituto OMG have signed a partnership offering student loans and payment terms of up to 36 months to widen access to higher education.

Santo Domingo, May 2026 — Banco Promerica Dominican Republic has announced a strategic partnership with Instituto OMG (IOMG) to widen access to higher education in the country through flexible, responsible financial solutions adapted to the needs of students and professionals.

The initiative seeks to lower the economic barriers to starting or continuing studies, combining formal financing with payment terms that support both entry into and continuation of academic study.

Through this partnership, those interested will be able to access student loans and payment terms under the CrediPlus scheme, with interest-bearing and interest-free options, terms of up to 36 months and financing of up to 100% of the academic cost, depending on the arrangement.

“At Banco Promerica we firmly believe that education is one of the main engines of development. This partnership with IOMG reflects our commitment to offering accessible financial solutions, marked by close attention, an innovative approach and the agility students need today, adapting to their realities so we can support them effectively in achieving their academic and professional goals,” said Carlos Julio Camilo, executive president of Banco Promerica Dominican Republic.

The partnership rests on how the two institutions complement each other: Promerica brings its experience in agile financial solutions, while IOMG contributes its academic record and its commitment to developing human talent.

Among its main distinguishing features are agile assessment processes and a student-centred approach, as well as compliance with high standards of transparency, data protection and good practice. The agreement also includes no referral commissions, reinforcing its social focus.

Belkis Guerrero Villalona, rector of Instituto OMG, stressed that “this partnership reaffirms our mission of adding value to society through the training and specialisation of professionals to the highest educational standards, and strengthens our commitment to study, teaching and research, promoting a vision of law geared to strengthening the legal and economic environment and the country’s sustainable development.”

As part of this partnership, the two institutions will promote guidance sessions, financial education talks, participation in education fairs and the production of informative content.

The collaboration responds to a shared vision: turning education into an achievable opportunity for more Dominicans and a key engine of social and economic development.
