“We’re extremely proud of what we’ve accomplished since 1964, when we were one of the smallest banks in Puerto Rico,” said OFG CEO José Rafael Fernández. “Since then, we have been able to reach new heights, becoming one of the top three banks on the island.”
“This is a credit to our dedicated teams who work tirelessly to help fulfill our purpose of making progress possible for our customers, employees, shareholders and the communities we serve,” he said.
“Today, this is being enhanced through our ‘Digital First’ strategy of deploying faster, more efficient, self-service technology that is expanding our customer base and increasing engagement. We’re more than ready to shape the future of OFG and Oriental,” Fernández added.
The bell ringing ceremony begins at about 9:15 a.m. and can be watched live.
