Three talented Puerto Rican students will have the opportunity to live a once-in-a-lifetime experience as part of this year’s Ruta Quetzal BBVA cultural program, which will take them to Colombia and Spain this summer, BBVA President Rafael Varela announced Tuesday.
A combination of strong growth in deposits and loans drove BBVA Puerto Rico’s first quarter results, which reflected an $8.6 million net profit for the period, up 42.4 percent year-over-year, the bank disclosed Wednesday.
