On the heels of a good third quarter, FirstBank executives are looking to capitalize on a “cleaner balance sheet” to continue strengthening and growing its franchise on all fronts in Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands and South Florida.
A day after the Securities and Exchange Commission absolved two of its top Puerto Rico financial advisors of charges of misleading or defrauding customers, UBS Financial Services looked to clear the air with its client base through an extensive letter in which it addressed a number of public allegations regarding its recent business practices.
OFG Bancorp reported Monday its results for the third quarter ended Sept. 30, which showed income available to common shareholders of $16.2 million, up 10 percent from the $14.7 million reported in the same year-ago quarter.
