CEO Comment

José Rafael Fernández, Chief Executive Officer, said: “2023 was an outstanding year. We are proud of our accomplishments and thank the entire team for making it possible.

Year-end commercial loan balances exceeded $3 billion and tangible common equity was more than $1 billion, both for the first time. Our ‘Digital First Strategy’ continues to empower our retail customers to complete 93% of routine transactions through self-service channels. While consumer credit has begun to normalize post-pandemic, consumer liquidity and employment as well as commercial clients and the economy continue to be strong in Puerto Rico.”
