The Puerto Rico Bankers Association recently launched the third edition of its holiday season educational campaign “This Christmas Season: Enjoy. Share. Save” campaign, through which it seeks to provide consumer advice on how to maximize financial resources during the holiday shopping season, while helping them avoid an excessive level of debt.
FirstBank, in partnership with transaction processing company EVERTEC, announced Thursday the start of a campaign to raise funds for nonprofit Ser de Puerto Rico, an organization dedicated to offering a variety of services to special needs children and adults.
Puerto Rico’s financial system — which comprises local and international commercial banks, cooperatives, mortgage and investment companies, and public banks, among others — reported $147.6 billion in assets during the third quarter of 2013, down about 2 percent from the $151.2 billion on record for the same period in 2012.
