Looking to continue building upon the services it offers in the area of investments, Oriental Financial Services will officially inaugurate today its new brokerage office in Hato Rey. The inauguration had to be pushed off a week because of Hurricane Irene.

“The location of this new brokerage house in the heart of the Golden Mile in Hato Rey offers greater accessibility for our customers, many of whom work in the area or have close links with our island’s financial center,” said José Rafael Fernández, Oriental CEO.
The opening of this new brokerage house is in keeping with Oriental’s strategy to maintain its leadership in the area of investments among local banks, bank officials said. Eighteen years ago, Oriental was the first local financial institution to establish a brokerage house within a bank.
“After nearly two decades, it has a team of experts in the area of financial planning and investments to work closely with each client to achieve the goals that will result in progress,” the bank said.
