La nueva solución digital optimiza y acelera el proceso crediticio, reduciendo tiempos de respuesta y mejorando la eficiencia operativa sin perder la cercanía con el cliente. La iniciativa está orientada al fortalecimiento de las microempresas y al desarrollo de competencias digitales en todo el equipo de la institución.
Financiera FDL anunció el despliegue de FDL+, una innovadora herramienta digital diseñada para transformar y rediseñar su metodología de otorgamiento de créditos.

Durante el anuncio oficial, Karem Delgadillo, Gerente de Negocios de Financiera FDL, destacó que la adopción de nuevas tecnologías responde al compromiso de la institución con la modernización constante y la excelencia en el servicio:
”La tecnología no viene a reemplazar nuestra experiencia acumulada ni a distanciar la relación con nuestros clientes; al contrario, viene a facilitarla. Al utilizar FDL+ optimizamos la atención, reducimos errores y liberamos tiempo valioso para acompañar a más microempresarios en su crecimiento”, señaló Delgadillo.
El proyecto “Solución Digital FDL+” incluye un plan integral de capacitación y acompañamiento para los gerentes de sucursal, oficiales de crédito y equipos de colaboradores, promoviendo la adopción de buenas prácticas y el trabajo colaborativo en cada una de las sucursales.
La herramienta permite realizar gestiones crediticias directamente en el campo, facilitando la captura de datos y evaluación financiera en el propio entorno de los microempresarios y emprendedores, reforzando así el compromiso histórico de Financiera FDL con la inclusión financiera.

”Todo cambio requiere un proceso de aprendizaje que estamos recorriendo juntos mediante capacitación continua y soporte constante. FDL+ es un aliado clave para seguir brindando servicios financieros de excelencia y mantenernos competitivos en la industria”, puntualizó la Gerente de Negocios.
Con la implementación de FDL+, al cierre del mes de septiembre los oficiales de crédito han colocado US$2.2703,569 en 1,402 solicitudes desembolsadas. Financiera FDL reafirma su posición de liderazgo en el sector de las microfinanzas, apostando por la innovación tecnológica como motor para la competitividad y el desarrollo socioeconómico de la región.


Financiera FDL y técnicos de TINIDIA realizaron una escuela de campo en la comunidad Las Letras, entre Nueva Guinea y San Carlos, Río San Juan, enfocada en la planificación participativa de microcuencas y la resiliencia climática.
Financiera FDL, junto a técnicos de TINIDIA, desarrolló recientemente una escuela de campo con productores de la comunidad Las Letras, ubicada en la microcuenca Caño Blanco, zona limítrofe entre Nueva Guinea y San Carlos, Río San Juan. La jornada abordó como tema central la planificación participativa de microcuencas y la resiliencia climática en fincas.
El encuentro se desarrolló con un enfoque participativo, en el que los productores no solo recibieron información, sino que analizaron la realidad de sus propias fincas y construyeron soluciones de forma conjunta. El objetivo fue involucrar directamente a las familias productoras en la gestión sostenible de los recursos hídricos y en la reducción de la vulnerabilidad climática de sus unidades productivas.
Durante la escuela de campo, los participantes identificaron la relación entre el estado de las fuentes de agua, la cobertura vegetal y la productividad de las fincas, reconociendo que la protección de las riberas y de las zonas de recarga hídrica es clave para asegurar agua durante todo el año y enfrentar con mayor preparación los periodos de sequía e intensas lluvias.
Como resultado de la jornada, los productores asumieron el compromiso formal de plantar entre 25 y 50 árboles en su finca, priorizar riberas de fuentes de agua y zonas de recarga hídrica de la microcuenca y el uso estricto de especies propias de la zona, para garantizar una mayor tasa de sobrevivencia y favorecer la recuperación ecológica nativa
Con estas acciones, Financiera FDL reafirma su compromiso de acompañar a las familias productoras más allá del crédito, promoviendo prácticas que protegen el medio ambiente, fortalecen la sostenibilidad de las fincas y contribuyen a que el campo nicaragüense esté mejor preparado ante los efectos del cambio climático.
Este tipo de espacios forma parte del trabajo que la institución impulsa junto a sus aliados técnicos para fomentar la educación ambiental, la adaptación climática y el desarrollo rural sostenible en las zonas donde tiene presencia.
En esta actividad participaron Ruddy Aguilera, Vicegerente Regional de Negocios, Zona Centro Sur, Darwin Solano, Gerente de Sucursal Nueva Guinea, oficiales de crèdito de Financiera FDL, y los tècnicos de TINIDIA, Eugenio Lainez y Jorge Luis Moncada..

When, while the lovely valley teems with vapor around me, and the meridian sun strikes the upper surface of the impenetrable foliage of my trees, and but a few stray gleams steal into the inner sanctuary, I throw myself down among the tall grass by the trickling stream; and, as I lie close to the earth, a thousand unknown plants are noticed by me: when I hear the buzz of the little world among the stalks, and grow familiar with the countless indescribable forms of the insects and flies, then I feel the presence of the Almighty, who formed us in his own image, and the breath of that universal love which bears and sustains us, as it floats around us in an eternity of bliss; and then, my friend, when darkness overspreads my eyes, and heaven and earth seem to dwell in my soul and absorb its power, like the form of a beloved mistress, then I often think with longing, Oh, would I could describe these conceptions, could impress upon paper all that is living so full and warm within me, that it might be the mirror of my soul, as my soul is the mirror of the infinite God!
O my friend — but it is too much for my strength — I sink under the weight of the splendor of these visions! A wonderful serenity has taken possession of my entire soul, like these sweet mornings of spring which I enjoy with my whole heart. I am alone, and feel the charm of existence in this spot, which was created for the bliss of souls like mine.
I am so happy, my dear friend, so absorbed in the exquisite sense of mere tranquil existence, that I neglect my talents. I should be incapable of drawing a single stroke at the present moment; and yet I feel that I never was a greater artist than now.
