FirstBank Puerto Rico has entered into three separate agreements to sell a total of $532 million bad commercial loans with a book value of $315 million, for $201 million, or 38 percent of the unpaid principal balance.
Saying the bank is “here to grow,” Santander Puerto Rico President Román Blanco-Reinosa outlined the financial institution’s strategy through 2015 — a plan that calls for achieving a net profit of $100 million in three years by focusing on five core business areas. When that vision is translated into numbers, it adds up to 100x35.
Doral Bank is looking to expand its participation in Puerto Rico’s insurance market by adding new coverage options via its Doral Insurance division, said Jesús Méndez, recently appointed executive vice president of operations.
