SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
OFG Bancorp (NYSE:OFG) reported one day after Hurricane Irma struck
Puerto Rico that it is up and operating, with corporate offices and all
but two of its 48 financial centers open for business as usual.
The bank’s online banking services remained fully operational during the
storm and afterwards so that customers could access to their accounts
and make transactions through www.orientalbank.com
and the mobile apps. In addition, bank customer service phone lines were
restored to normal working hours yesterday at noon.
“Puerto Rico was spared the brunt of the storm but there remains
widespread disruption from loss of power and debris affecting many
roads. Nonetheless, we are pleased to report that our staff, whose
safety and well-being along with their families was a principal concern,
have responded gallantly. We are well-positioned to provide the high
level of service that has become our hallmark and are responding to our
customers’ needs. The extensive investments we made in online services
also are providing continuity to our normal services,” said José Rafael
Fernández, President, Chief Executive Officer, and Vice Chairman of the
Board.
