“Colombia is an important part of Evertec’s story and our presence across Latin America,” said Mac Schuessler, President and Chief Executive Officer of Evertec. “Our thoughts are with everyone affected by these devastating earthquakes. We know that recovery will take time, and through this contribution, we hope to provide meaningful support to individuals, families, and communities as they begin to rebuild. We stand in solidarity with the people of Colombia and remain committed to supporting our employees, clients, and the communities we proudly serve.”
