BancNet and ExpressNet signed yesterday an interconnection agreement that will link up the networks of both operators. And since both are connected to MegaLink, then all three will be completely interconnected.


"This is a historic moment for the banking sector, the banking public, and the three operators" said incoming Finance Secretary Margarito B. Teves.
