The Central Bank of Costa Rica (BCCR) and the Instituto Costarricense de Electricidad (ICE) are designing a plan to facilitate money transfer using a simple text message. This tool is already used in other countries such as Kenya, the Philippines and the Dominican Republic, among others. Users would need to have both a cell phone and a bank account.
Michael Copeland founded Rock Costa Rica after falling in love with the Lake Arenal area and moving there from Northern California’s Bay Area. He developed a deep affection and respect for the Tico people and for the Costa Rican philosophy of pura vida (“the pure life”) – a philosophy characterized by strong community spirit, perseverance, resilience in overcoming difficulties, enjoying life slowly and celebrating good fortune.
