I am giving 1-star because I can't give a 0!
My mom moved to California to live with me, she is 85 and I'm her caretaker. My mom with her altruistic mindset decided (against our advice) to keep some of her assets in Puerto Rico, "to help the economy of the Island" (her words).
But now she needs to transfer all her accounts due to her physical and medical needs. Because of this, she requested the cancellation of a CD she has with Oriental Bank. She called countless times to the San Patricio branch, and so did I. However, every time the calls got immediately transferred to the headquarters in Hato Rey. Then, we get "educated" with the fact that we need to contact the branch and not the headquarters. No matter how many times we clarified that THEIR switchboard is the one at fault (I'm guessing the switchboard is suffering from some sort of IT-dyslexia!) we still get the reply that WE need to CONTACT or VISIT the branch (hello, our home in California is precisely 3,594 miles away!).
Finally, one representative told us what to do and sent us the form we needed to fill out in order to cancel the CD and get a check for its value.
We did EVERYTHING! And guess what, instead of a check she got a notification that her certificate of deposit was RENEWED!!!
We called again, and again, and again, to DEMAND her check. Surprise, surprise the dyslexic switchboard STRIKES BACK!
She needs her money, and she can't travel to Puerto Rico!
0 star is probably too much!

A Guaranteed Rate HELOC is secured with your home as collateral, whereas personal loans and credit cards are not. To check the rates and terms you qualify for, we will conduct a soft credit pull that will not affect your credit score. However, if you continue and submit an application, we will request your full credit report from one or more consumer reporting agencies, which is considered a hard credit pull and may affect your credit. Approval may be granted in five minutes but is ultimately subject to verification of income and employment, as well as verification that your property is in at least average condition with a property condition report. Five business day funding timeline assumes closing the loan with our remote online notary. Funding timelines may be longer for loans secured by properties located in counties that do not permit recording of e-signatures or that otherwise require an in-person closing. Guaranteed Rate Home Equity Line is an open-end product where the full loan amount (minus lender, broker, third party, and governement fees, as applicable) will be 100% drawn at the time of origination. The initial amount funded at origination will be based on a fixed rate; however, this product contains an additional draw feature. As the borrower repays the balance on the line, the borrower may make additional draws during the draw period. If the borrower elects to make an additional draw, the interest rate for that draw will be set as of the date of the draw and will be based on an Index, which is the Prime Rate published in the Wall Street Journal for the calendar month preceding the date of the additional draw, plus a fixed margin. Accordingly, the fixed rate for any additional draw may be higher than the fixed rate for the initial draw. Apply in 5 minutes, get your money in as fast as 5 days. Digital application experience. Funds directly to your bank account. No in-person appraisal needed.

Oriental Bank Ratio Analysis

The following ratios and data are available to help you better understand the financial condition of Oriental Bank. The data is provided by the FDIC. All banks listed on BestCashCow.com are FDIC-insured. No depositor has ever lost deposits that have been within the FDIC insurance limits.

Texas Ratio

Oriental Bank	U.S. Bank Average
9.21%	4.48%

The Texas Ratio compares the bank’s non performing assets (non-performing loans and real estate owned) with its tangible common equity and its loan loss reserves. A lower Texas ratio indicates better coverage of problem loans. The closer the Texas Ratio is to 1-to-1 or 100%, the less capital and reserves a bank has to absorb its loan losses.

As of June 30, 2024, Oriental Bank had $113,237,000 in non-current loans and $6,525,000 in owned real estate. To cover these potential losses it had $1,143,368,000 in equity and $157,301,000 in loans loss reserves. That gives it a Texas Ratio of 9.21%.

Return on Equity

Oriental Bank	U.S. Bank Average
17.25%	10.46%

Oriental Bank has a Return on Equity of 17.25% versus the BestCashCow average of 10.46%. Return on equity measures how efficiently a bank is making money from its capital. A bank with a consistently high ROE can be considered well run. A bank with a consistently low ROE can be considered poorly run.

Capitalization

Oriental Bank	U.S. Bank Average
10.25%	10.84%

Oriental Bank has a Capitalization of 10.25% versus the BestCashCow average of 10.84. Capitalization measures how much equity capital a bank has to underpin loans and other assets on its balance sheet. The higher the capitalization number the more secure a bank is considered.

Oriental Bank Balance Sheet Analysis

As of June 30, 2024, Oriental Bank had assets of $11,153,720,000, loans of $7,503,142,000, and deposits of $9,615,826,000. Long-term increases in deposits shows a bank's ability to raise funds to grow its loans and assets. Loan and asset growth may rise or fall depending on a bank's strategy for growth. Sharp rises and falls in assets, deposits, and loans can be problematic, indicating a loosening of lending standards, or financial distress leading to reduced lending. A big change in these figured can also be from a bank acquisition or merger.
