Nature Of Operations	'
	NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION, CONSOLIDATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
	Nature of Operations
	OFG Bancorp (the “Company”) is a publicly-owned financial holding company incorporated under the laws of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico. The Company operates through various subsidiaries including, a commercial bank, Oriental Bank (or the “Bank”), a securities broker-dealer, Oriental Financial Services Corp. (“Oriental Financial Services”), an insurance agency, Oriental Insurance, Inc. (“Oriental Insurance”) and a retirement plan administrator, Caribbean Pension Consultants, Inc. (“CPC”). The Company also has a special purpose entity, Oriental Financial (PR) Statutory Trust II (the “Statutory Trust II”). Through these subsidiaries and their respective divisions, the Company provides a wide range of banking and financial services such as commercial, consumer and mortgage lending, leasing, auto loans, financial planning, insurance sales, money management and investment banking and brokerage services, as well as corporate and individual trust services. On April 25, 2013, the Company changed its corporate name from Oriental Financial Group Inc. to OFG Bancorp.
	On April 30, 2010, the Bank acquired certain assets and assumed certain deposits and other liabilities in the FDIC-assisted acquisition of Eurobank. On December 18, 2012, the Company purchased Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria Puerto Rico (“BBVAPR”), referred to as the “BBVAPR Acquisition.”
Significant Accounting Policies	'
	Recent Accounting Developments
	Reclassification of Defaulted Consumer Mortgage Loans upon Foreclosure - In January 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2014-04, Receivables—Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors (Subtopic 310-40): Reclassification of Residential Real Estate Collateralized Consumer Mortgage Loans upon Foreclosure. This ASU clarifies when an in-substance repossession or foreclosure occurs that would require a transfer of the mortgage loan to other real estate owned (OREO). Under the ASU, repossession or foreclosure is deemed to have occurred when (1) the creditor obtains legal title to the residential real estate property or (2) the borrower conveys all interest in the residential real estate property to the creditor to satisfy the mortgage loan through completion of a deed in lieu of foreclosure or a similar legal agreement. The ASU will become effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2014. The ASU can be adopted using either a modified retrospective method or a prospective transition method with the cumulative effect being recognized in the beginning retained earnings of the earliest annual period for which the ASU is adopted. The adoption of this guidance will not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements, since the Company already follows the same basis approach.
	Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carry-forward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carry-forward Exists In July 2013, FASB issued ASU No. 2013-11, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carry-forward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carry-forward Exists (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task, which requires that an unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion of an unrecognized tax benefit, be presented in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward. When a net operating loss, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward is not available at the reporting date under the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction to settle any additional taxes that would result from the disallowance of a tax position, or the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction does not require the entity to use, and the entity does not intend to use, the deferred tax asset for such purposes, the unrecognized tax benefit should be presented in the financial statements as a liability and should not be combined with deferred tax assets. The assessment of whether a deferred tax asset is available is based on the unrecognized tax benefit and deferred tax asset that exist at the reporting date and should be made presuming disallowance of the tax position at the reporting date. Currently, there is no explicit guidance under U.S. GAAP on the financial statement presentation of an unrecognized tax benefit when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward exists. The amendment of this guidance does not require new recurring disclosures. ASU 2013-11 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments of this ASU should be applied prospectively to all unrecognized tax benefits that exist at the effective date. Retrospective application is permitted. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements, since the Company already followed the same basis approach.

	Deposits pledged as collateral to other financial institutions to secure:

	Obligations under agreement of loans sold with recourse		12,190		12,190
		$	15,170	$	82,199
	The Company delivers cash as collateral to meet margin calls for some long term securities sold under agreements to repurchase. An alternative to cash delivery is entering into securities purchased under agreements to resell and use the securities collateral received as collateral to be delivered. At December 31, 2013, the possibility of entering into securities purchased under agreements to resell to receive securities collateral and then deliver it to counterparties securities sold under agreements to repurchase was very limited for market reasons. Therefore, at December 31, 2013, the Company had $67.0 million in cash collateral delivered. At March 31, 2014, the Company did not have cash collateral delivered.
	As part of the BBVAPR Acquisition, the Company assumed a contract with FNMA which required collateral to guarantee the repurchase, if necessary, of loans sold with recourse. At March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company delivered cash amounting to $12.2 million.

Investments [Abstract]	'
Securities purchased under agreement to resell and investments	'
	NOTE 3 – SECURITIES PURCHASED UNDER AGREEMENTS TO RESELL AND INVESTMENTS
	Money Market Investments
	The Company considers as cash equivalents all money market instruments that are not pledged and that have maturities of three months or less at the date of acquisition. At March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, money market instruments included as part of cash and cash equivalents amounted to $7.7 million and $7.0 million, respectively.
	Securities Purchased Under Agreements to Resell
	Securities purchased under agreements to resell consist of short-term investments and are carried at the amounts at which the assets will be subsequently resold as specified in the respective agreements. At December 31, 2013, securities purchased under agreements to resell amounted to $60.0 million. At March 31, 2014, there were no securities purchased under agreements to resell.
	The amounts advanced under those agreements are reflected as assets in the consolidated statements of financial condition. It is the Company's policy to take possession of securities purchased under agreements to resell. Agreements with third parties specify the Company's right to request additional collateral based on its monitoring of the fair value of the underlying securities on a daily basis.

At December 31, 2013 obligations of Puerto Rico Government and political subdivisions included a $98.7 million principal amount, LIBOR floating rate bond with maturity date of July 1, 2024, that was subject to mandatory tender for purchase by the end of the third year anniversary of the closing date, which was June 1, 2014. The bond was also subject to optional demand tender for purchase upon the occurrence and continuance of certain events, including (among others) the withdrawal, suspension or reduction below investment grade of the credit rating on any general obligation of the Commonwealth by any of the three major rating agencies. This bond was repaid by the issuer on March 1, 2014.
The Company, as part of its asset/liability management, may purchase U.S. Treasury securities and U.S. government-sponsored agency discount notes close to their maturities as alternatives to cash deposits at correspondent banks or as a short term vehicle to reinvest the proceeds of sale transactions until investment securities with attractive yields can be purchased. During the quarter ended March 31, 2014, the Company sold $24.0 million of available-for-sale GNMA certificates that were sold as part of its recurring mortgage loan origination and securitization activities. These sales did not realize any gains or losses during such period. In addition, during the quarter ended March 31, 2014, there were certain sales of available-for-sale securities because the Company believed that gains could be realized and that there were good opportunities to invest the proceeds in other investment securities with attractive yields and terms that would allow the Company to continue protecting its net interest margin.
For the quarter ended March 31, 2014 the Company recorded a net gain on sale of securities of $4.4 million. The tables below present the gross realized gains by category for such period. There was no realized gain or loss for the quarter ended March 31, 2013.

The valuations of the investment securities are performed on a monthly basis. Moreover, the Company conducts quarterly reviews to identify and evaluate each investment in an unrealized loss position for other-than-temporary impairment. Any portion of a decline in value associated with credit loss is recognized in income with the remaining noncredit-related component recognized in other comprehensive income. A credit loss is determined by assessing whether the amortized cost basis of the security will be recovered by comparing the present value of cash flows expected to be collected from the security, discounted at the rate equal to the yield used to accrete current and prospective beneficial interest for the security. The shortfall of the present value of the cash flows expected to be collected in relation to the amortized cost basis is considered to be the “credit loss.” Other-than-temporary impairment analysis is based on estimates that depend on market conditions and are subject to further change over time. In addition, while the Company believes that the methodology used to value these exposures is reasonable, the methodology is subject to continuing refinement, including those made as a result of market developments. Consequently, it is reasonably possible that changes in estimates or conditions could result in the need to recognize additional other-than-temporary impairment charges in the future.
Most of the investments in an unrealized loss position at March 31, 2014 ($404.4 million or 95%) consist of securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Treasury or U.S. government-sponsored agencies, all of which are highly liquid securities that have a large and efficient secondary market. Their aggregate losses and their variability from period to period are the result of changes in market conditions, and not due to the repayment capacity or creditworthiness of the issuers or guarantors of such securities.
The remaining investments in an unrealized loss position at March 31, 2014 ($22.4 million or 5%) consist of obligations issued or collateralized by the government of Puerto Rico and its political subdivisions or instrumentalities. The recent decline in the market value of these securities is mainly attributed to an increase in volatility as a result of changes in market conditions that reflect the significant economic and fiscal challenges that Puerto Rico is facing, including a protracted economic recession, sizable government debt-service obligations and structural budget deficits, high unemployment and a shrinking population. As of March 31, 2014, the Company analyzed these investments under a plausible set of scenarios that included the possibility of a further downgrade in the credit ratings of the Commonwealth, and also considered numerous factors that, in the Company's view, support the ability of the Commonwealth to continue servicing its debt obligations. Such factors include (i) the collateralization and sources of repayment for such debt obligations; (ii) the government's efforts to increase revenues and reduce expenses to tackle its recurrent budget deficits; (iii) the Commonwealth's constitutional framework that provides that “public debt” (e.g., general obligation bonds such as the $98.7 million principal amount Puerto Rico government bond owned by the Company, and repaid by the issuer on March 1, 2014) constitutes a first claim on available Commonwealth resources; and (iv) the Commonwealth's compliance and commitment to its contractual debt obligations. In addition, the Company believes it is probable that it will collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of its Puerto Rico government bonds. Based on these factors, the Company expects that such bonds will be repaid in full when due, and given that the Company does not have the intent to sell any such bonds in an unrealized loss position, the Company does not consider them to be other-than-temporarily impaired as of March 31, 2014.

Loans Receivable [Abstract]	'
LOANS RECEIVABLE	'
	NOTE 4 - LOANS
	The Company's loan portfolio is composed of covered loans and non-covered loans. The Company presents loans subject to the loss sharing agreements as “covered loans” in the tables below, and loans that are not subject to FDIC loss sharing agreements as “non-covered loans.” The risks of the FDIC-assisted Eurobank acquisition acquired loans are different from those loans not covered under the FDIC loss sharing agreements because of the loss protection provided by the FDIC. Also, loans acquired in the BBVAPR Acquisition are included as non-covered loans in the unaudited consolidated statements of financial condition. Non-covered loans are further segregated between originated and other loans, acquired loans accounted for under ASC 310-20 (loans with revolving feature and/or acquired at a premium), and acquired loans accounted for under ASC 310-30 (loans acquired with deteriorated credit quality, including those by analogy).
	The composition of the Company's loan portfolio at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 was as follows:

	The Company's originated and other loans held for investment are encompassed within four portfolio segments: mortgage, commercial, consumer, and auto and leasing.
	The following tables present the aging of the recorded investment in gross originated and other loans held for investment as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 by class of loans. Mortgage loans past due included delinquent loans in the GNMA buy-back option program. Servicers of loans underlying GNMA mortgage-backed securities must report as their own assets the defaulted loans that they have the option (but not the obligation) to repurchase, even when they elect not to exercise that option.

At March 31, 2014, the increase in delinquencies in the consumer and the auto and leasing portfolios compared to December 31, 2013 is mainly attributed to the fact that non-performing loans of acquired non-covered loan portfolio were accounted for under ASC 310-30. At March 31, 2014 such portfolios are increasing as new originations are ramping up the balances outstanding. More than a year from the acquisition, those portfolios are beginning to reflect normal delinquency levels as seasoned portfolios.
At March 31, 2014, the Company had $539.9 million in loans granted to the Puerto Rico government, including its instrumentalities, public corporations and municipalities as part of the institutional commercial loan segment. This entire amount was current at March 31, 2014.
Acquired Loans Accounted for under ASC 310-20 (Loans with revolving feature and/or acquired at a premium)
Credit cards, retail and commercial revolving lines of credits, floor plans and performing auto loans with FICO scores over 660 acquired at a premium as part of the non-covered portfolio are accounted for under the guidance of ASC 310-20, which requires that any contractually required loan payment receivable in excess of the Company's initial investment in the loans be accreted into interest income on a level-yield basis over the life of the loan. Loans accounted for under ASC 310-20 are placed on non-accrual status when past due in accordance with the Company's non-accrual policy and any accretion of discount or amortization of premium is discontinued. Loans acquired in the non-covered portfolio that were accounted for under the provisions of ASC 310-20 are removed from the acquired loan category at the end of the reporting period upon refinancing, renewal or normal re-underwriting.
The following table presents the aging of the recorded investment in gross acquired loans accounted for under ASC 310-20 as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, by class of loans:

Loans accounted for under ASC 310-30 are excluded from the above table as they are considered to be performing due to the application of the accretion method, in which these loans will accrete interest income over the remaining life of the loans using estimated cash flow analyses.
Effective April 24, 2013, delinquent residential mortgage loans insured or guaranteed under applicable FHA and VA programs are placed in non-accrual when they become 18 months or more past due, since they are insured loans. Before that date, they were placed in non-accrual when they became 90 days or more past due.
At March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, loans whose terms have been extended and which are classified as troubled-debt restructurings that are not included in non-accrual loans amounted to $70.8 million and $66.5 million, respectively, as they are performing under their new terms.

	Non-Covered Loans
	The Company maintains an allowance for loan and lease losses at a level that management considers adequate to provide for probable losses based upon an evaluation of known and inherent risks. The Company's allowance for loan and lease losses policy provides for a detailed quarterly analysis of probable losses. The analysis includes a review of historical loan loss experience, value of underlying collateral, current economic conditions, financial condition of borrowers and other pertinent factors. While management uses available information in estimating probable loan losses, future additions to the allowance may be required based on factors beyond the Company's control. We also maintain an allowance for loan losses on acquired loans when: (i) for loans accounted for under ASC 310-30, there is deterioration in credit quality subsequent to acquisition, and (ii) for loans accounted for under ASC 310-20, the inherent losses in the loans exceed the remaining credit discount recorded at the time of acquisition. As part of the Company's continuous enhancement to the allowance for loan and lease losses methodology, during the quarter ended March 31, 2014, an assessment of the look-back period and historical loss factor was performed for auto and leasing and consumer loan portfolios based on the trends observed and their relation with the economic cycle as of the period ended March 31, 2014. As a result, the period was changed to 24 months from the previously determined 12 months. This change in the allowance for loan and lease losses' look back period for the consumer and auto and leasing portfolios is considered a change in accounting estimate as per ASC 250-10 provisions, where adjustments should be made prospectively.

Non-covered loans acquired accounted for under ASC 310-30 were recognized at fair value as of December 18, 2012, which included the impact of expected credit losses and, therefore, no allowance for credit losses was recorded during the quarter ended March 31, 2013.
Impaired Loans
The Company evaluates all loans, some individually and others as homogeneous groups, for purposes of determining impairment. The total investment in impaired commercial loans was $27.8 million and $28.1 million at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. The impaired commercial loans were measured based on the fair value of collateral or the present value of cash flows, including those identified as troubled-debt restructurings. The valuation allowance for impaired commercial loans amounted to approximately $1.4 million at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013. The total investment in impaired mortgage loans was $87.7 million and $84.5 million at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. Impairment on mortgage loans assessed as troubled-debt restructurings was measured using the present value of cash flows. The valuation allowance for impaired mortgage loans amounted to approximately $8.0 million and $8.7 million at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.
The Company's recorded investment in commercial and mortgage loans that were individually evaluated for impairment, excluding loans accounted for under ASC 310-30, and the related allowance for loan and lease losses at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 are as follows:

Credit Quality Indicators
The Company categorizes non-covered originated and acquired loans accounted for under ASC 310-20 into risk categories based on relevant information about the ability of borrowers to service their debt, such as economic conditions, portfolio risk characteristics, prior loss experience, and the results of periodic credit reviews of individual loans.
The Company uses the following definitions for risk ratings:
Special Mention: Loans classified as “special mention” have a potential weakness that deserves management's close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the loan or of the institution's credit position at some future date.
Substandard: Loans classified as “substandard” are inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Loans so classified have a well defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the institution will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.
Doubtful: Loans classified as “doubtful” have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified as substandard, with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, questionable and improbable.
Loss: Loans classified as “loss” are considered uncollectible and of such little value that their continuance as bankable assets is not warranted. This classification does not mean that the asset has absolutely no recovery or salvage value, but rather that it is not practical or desirable to defer writing off this worthless loan even though partial recovery may be effected in the future.
Loans not meeting the criteria above that are analyzed individually as part of the above described process are considered to be pass rated loans.
As of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, and based on the most recent analysis performed, the risk category of gross non-covered originated and other loans and acquired loans accounted for under ASC 310-20 subject to risk rating by class of loans is as follows:

At March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, we had approximately $766.7 million and $763.4 million, respectively, of credit facilities granted to the Puerto Rico government, including its instrumentalities, public corporations and municipalities, of which $718.8 million and $696.0, respectively, were outstanding as of such dates. A substantial portion of our credit exposure to the government of Puerto Rico consists of collateralized loans or obligations that have a specific source of income or revenues identified for its repayment. Some of these obligations consist of senior and subordinated loans to public corporations that obtain revenues from rates charged for services, such as water and electric power utilities. Public corporations have varying degrees of independence from the central government and many receive appropriations or other payments from it. We also have loans to various municipalities for which the good faith, credit and unlimited taxing power of the applicable municipality has been pledged to their repayment. These municipalities are required by law to levy special property taxes in such amounts as shall be required for the payment of all their general obligation bonds and notes. Another portion of these loans consists of special obligations of various municipalities that are payable from the basic real and personal property taxes collected within such municipalities. The good faith and credit obligations of the municipalities have a first lien on the basic property taxes.
For residential and consumer loan classes, the Company evaluates credit quality based on the delinquency status of the loan. As of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, and based on the most recent analysis performed, the risk category of non-covered gross originated and other loans and acquired loans accounted for under ASC 310-20 not subject to risk rating by class of loans is as follows:

Covered Loans
For covered loans, as part of the evaluation of actual versus expected cash flows, the Company assesses on a quarterly basis the credit quality of these loans based on delinquency, severity factors and risk ratings, among other assumptions. Migration and credit quality trends are assessed at the pool level, by comparing information from the latest evaluation period through the end of the reporting period.
The changes in the allowance for loan and lease losses on covered loans for the quarters ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 were as follows:
	Quarter Ended March 31,
	2014			2013
	(In thousands)
Balance at beginning of the period	$	52,729		$	54,124
Provision for covered loan and lease losses, net		1,629			672
FDIC shared-loss portion of provision for (recapture of)
covered loan and lease losses, net		40			-1,822
Balance at end of the period	$	54,398		$	52,974
FDIC shared-loss portion of provision for (recapture of) covered loans and lease losses net, represents the credit impairment losses to be covered under the FDIC loss-share agreement which is increasing (decreasing) the FDIC loss-share indemnification asset.
Net provision for covered loans includes both additional reserves and reserve releases for different pools. The pools for which there were releases are also subject to a reduction to the FDIC shared-loss indemnification asset because of lower expected losses which are recognized as recaptures.
The Company's recorded investment in covered loan pools that have recorded impairments and their related allowance for covered loan and lease losses as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 are as follows:

FDIC Loss Share Asset and True-up Payment Obligation	3 Months Ended

Banking and Thrift [Abstract]	'
FDIC Share Loss Indemnification Asset and True-up Payment Obligation [Text Block]	'
	NOTE 6- FDIC LOSS SHARE ASSET AND TRUE-UP PAYMENT OBLIGATION
	As part of the Purchase and Assumption Agreement between the Bank and the FDIC (the “Purchase and Assumption Agreement”), the Bank and the FDIC entered into shared-loss agreements whereby the FDIC in connection with the Eurobank acquisition, covers a substantial portion of any losses on loans (and related unfunded loan commitments), foreclosed real estate and other repossessed properties.
	The acquired loans, foreclosed real estate, and other repossessed properties subject to the shared-loss agreements are collectively referred to as “covered assets.” Under the terms of the shared-loss agreements, the FDIC absorbs 80% of losses and shares in 80% of loss recoveries on covered assets. The term of the shared-loss agreement covering single family residential mortgage loans is ten years with respect to losses and loss recoveries, while the term of the shared-loss agreement covering commercial loans is five years with respect to losses and eight years with respect to loss recoveries, from the April 30, 2010 acquisition date. The shared-loss agreements also provide for certain costs directly related to the collection and preservation of covered assets to be reimbursed at an 80% level. The indemnification asset represents the portion of estimated losses covered by the shared-loss agreements between the Bank and the FDIC.
	The following table presents the activity in the FDIC loss share asset and true-up payment obligation for the quarters ended March 31, 2014 and 2013:
		Quarter Ended March 31,
		2014		2013
		(In thousands)
	FDIC share-loss indemnification asset:
	Balance at beginning of period	$	189,240	$	302,295
	Shared-loss agreements reimbursements from the FDIC		-8,236		-6,650
	Increase (decrease) in expected credit losses to be covered under shared-loss agreements, net		40		-1,822
	FDIC shared-loss expense		-17,622		-12,201
	Incurred expenses to be reimbursed under shared-loss agreements		2,772		1,502
	Balance at end of period	$	166,194	$	283,124
	True-up payment obligation:
	Balance at beginning of period	$	18,510	$	15,496
	FDIC shared-loss expense		865		670
	Balance at end of period	$	19,375	$	16,166
	The FDIC shared-loss expense increased as the Company continues to forecast better performance and cash flows from covered loans than previously expected resulting in a minor increase in the amortization of the FDIC shared-loss indemnification asset.
	The FDIC shared-loss expense of $18.5 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2014 compared to $12.9 million for the same period in 2013, resulted from the ongoing evaluation of expected cash flows of the covered loan portfolio, which resulted in reduced projected losses expected to be collected from the FDIC and the improved accretable yield on the covered loans. Forecasted losses show a decreasing trend during the quarter ended March 31, 2014 as compared to the projections in 2013.The reduction in claimable losses amortizes the shared-loss indemnification asset through the shorter of the life of the shared loss agreement or the loan holding period. This amortization is net of the accretion of the discount recorded to reflect the expected claimable loss at its net present value. During the quarter ended March 31, 2014, the net amortization included $3.5 million of additional amortization of the FDIC indemnification asset from stepped up cost recoveries on certain construction, commercial, and leasing loan pools. Additional amortization of the FDIC indemnification asset may be recorded, should the Company continue to experience reduced expected losses. The majority of the FDIC indemnification asset is recorded for projected claimable losses on non-single family residential loans whose loss share period ends in the second quarter of 2015, although the recovery share period extends for an additional three-year period.
	The Bank agreed to make a true-up payment, also known as clawback liability or clawback provision, to the FDIC on the date that is 45 days following the last day (such day, the “True-Up Measurement Date”) of the final shared-loss month, or upon the final disposition of all covered assets under the shared-loss agreements in the event losses thereunder fail to reach expected levels. Under the shared-loss agreements, the Bank will pay to the FDIC 50% of the excess, if any, of: (i) 20% of the Intrinsic Loss Estimate of $906.0 million (or $181.2 million) (as determined by the FDIC) less (ii) the sum of: (A) 25% of the asset discount (per bid) (or $227.5 million); plus (B) 25% of the cumulative shared-loss payments (defined as the aggregate of all of the payments made or payable to the Bank minus the aggregate of all of the payments made or payable to the FDIC); plus (C) the sum of the period servicing amounts for every consecutive twelve-month period prior to and ending on the True-Up Measurement Date in respect of each of the shared-loss agreements during which the shared-loss provisions of the applicable shared-loss agreement is in effect (defined as the product of the simple average of the principal amount of shared-loss loans and shared-loss assets at the beginning and end of such period times 1%). The true-up payment represents an estimated liability of $19.4 million and $18.5 million, net of discount, as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. The estimated liability is included within other liabilities in the unaudited consolidated statements of financial condition.

	Interest Rate Swaps
	The Company enters into interest rate swap contracts to hedge the variability of future interest cash flows of forecasted wholesale borrowings, attributable to changes in a predetermined variable index rate. The interest rate swaps effectively fix the Company's interest payments on an amount of forecasted interest expense attributable to the variable index rate corresponding to the swap notional stated rate. These swaps are designated as cash flow hedges for the forecasted wholesale borrowing transactions and are properly documented as such, and therefore, qualify for cash flow hedge accounting. Any gain or loss associated with the effective portion of our cash flow hedges was recognized in other comprehensive income and is subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period during which the hedged forecasted transactions affect earnings. Changes in the fair value of these derivatives are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income to the extent there is no significant ineffectiveness in the cash flow hedging relationships. Currently, the Company does not expect to reclassify any amount included in other comprehensive income related to these interest rate swaps to earnings in the next twelve months.
	The following table shows a summary of these swaps and their terms at March 31, 2014:
			Notional			Fixed	Variable	Trade	Settlement	Maturity

	An unrealized loss of $10.5 million was recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income related to the valuation of these swaps at March 31, 2014, and the related asset and liability are being reflected in the accompanying unaudited consolidated statements of financial condition.
	At March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, interest rate swaps not designated as hedging instruments that were offered to clients represented an asset of $2.8 million and $2.9 million, respectively, and were included as part of derivative assets in the unaudited consolidated statements of financial position. The credit risk to these clients stemming from these derivatives, if any, is not material. At March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, interest rate swaps not designated as hedging instruments that are the mirror-images of the derivatives offered to clients represented a liability of $2.8 million and $2.9 million, respectively, and were included as part of derivative liabilities in the unaudited consolidated statements of financial condition.
	The following table shows a summary of these interest rate swaps not designated as hedging instruments and their terms at March 31, 2014:

	Options Tied to Standard & Poor's 500 Stock Market Index
	The Company has offered its customers certificates of deposit with an option tied to the performance of the S&P 500 Index. The Company uses option agreements with major broker-dealers to manage its exposure to changes in this index. Under the terms of the option agreements, the Company receives the average increase in the month-end value of the index in exchange for a fixed premium. The changes in fair value of the option agreements used to manage the exposure in the stock market in the certificates of deposit are recorded in earnings. At March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the purchased options used to manage exposure to the S&P 500 Index on stock indexed deposits represented an asset of $12.6 million (notional amount of $23.8 million) and $16.4 million (notional amount of $28.0 million), respectively, and the options sold to customers embedded in the certificates of deposit and recorded as deposits in the unaudited consolidated statements of financial condition, represented a liability of $12.1 million (notional amount of $22.9 million) and $15.7 million (notional amount of $26.9 million), respectively.
	Interest rate caps
	The Company has entered into interest rate cap transactions with various clients with floating-rate debt who wish to protect their financial results against increases in interest rates. In these cases, the Company simultaneously enters into mirror-image interest rate cap transactions with financial counterparties. None of these cap transactions qualify for hedge accounting; therefore, they are marked to market through earnings. The outstanding total notional amount of interest rate caps was $110.0 million at both March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013. At March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the interest rate caps sold to clients represented a liability of $374 thousand and $319 thousand, respectively, and were included as part of derivative liabilities in the unaudited consolidated statements of financial condition. At March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the interest rate caps purchased as mirror-images represented an asset of $374 thousand and $319 thousand, respectively, and were included as part of derivative assets in the unaudited consolidated statements of financial condition.

	NOTE 13 — INCOME TAXES
	On June 30, 2013 the Governor signed Act No. 40-2013, known as “Ley de Redistribución y Ajuste de la Carga Contributiva” (Act of Redistribution and Adjustment of Tax Burden), as amended. The main purpose of the Act is to increase government collections in order to alleviate the structural deficit. The most relevant provisions of the Act, as applicable to the Company, and effective for taxable years beginning after December 31,2012 are as follows: (1) the maximum Corporate Income Tax rate was increased from 30% to 39%; (2) the deduction allowed for determining the income subject to surtax was reduced from $750,000 to $25,000 (which must be allocated among the members of a controlled group of corporations); (3) the allowable Net Operating Loss (“NOL”) deduction was reduced to (i) 90% of the corporation's net income subject to regular tax for purposes of computing the regular income tax, and (ii) 80% of the alternative minimum taxable income for purposes of computing the alternative minimum tax (“AMT”); (4) the NOL carryover period was extended from 10 to 12 years for NOLs incurred in taxable years beginning after December 31, 2004 and before January 1, 2013, and from 7 to 10 years for losses incurred in taxable years beginning after December 31, 2012; (5) a new special tax based on gross income (the “Special Tax”) was added to the Puerto Rico Internal Revenue Code of 2011, as further described below; and (6) a special tax of 1% was imposed on insurance premiums earned after June 30, 2013.
	In the case of non-financial institutions, the Special Tax is paid as part of the AMT and thus is accounted for under the provisions of ASC 740. The applicable Special Tax rate for non-financial institutions increases gradually from 0.2% for gross income equal to or in excess of $1.0 million up to 0.85% for gross income in excess of $1.5 billion. In the case of a controlled group of corporations, the tax rate for all members of the group is determined by the aggregate gross income of all members in the group. In the case of financial institutions, the Special Tax is not part of the AMT calculation thus is accounted for as other tax not subject to the provisions of ASC 740 since the same is based on gross income. The applicable Special Tax rate for financial institutions is 1% of its gross income of a taxable year, of which fifty percent (50%) may be claimed as a credit against the financial institution's applicable income tax of that year.
	At March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company's net deferred tax asset amounted to $127.7 million and $137.6 million, respectively. In assessing the realizability of the deferred tax asset, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or the entire deferred tax asset will not be realized. The ultimate realization of the deferred tax asset is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible.  Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, and tax planning strategies in making this assessment.  Based upon the level of historical taxable income and projections for future taxable income over the periods in which the deferred tax asset are deductible, management believes it is more likely than not that the Company will realize the entire deferred tax asset, net of the existing valuation allowances recorded at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013. The amount of the deferred tax asset considered realizable, however, could be reduced in the near term if estimates of future taxable income during the carryforward period are reduced.
	At March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, Oriental International Bank Inc. (“OIB”), the Bank's international banking entity subsidiary, had $219 thousand and $356 thousand, respectively, in income tax effect of unrecognized gain on available-for-sale securities included in other comprehensive income. Following the change in OIB's applicable tax rate from 5% to 0% as a result of a Puerto Rico law adopted in 2011, this remaining tax balance will flow through income as these securities are repaid or sold in future periods. During the quarters ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, $137 thousand and $47 thousand, respectively, related to this residual tax effect from OIB was reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income into income tax provision.
	The Company classifies unrecognized tax benefits in income taxes payable. These gross unrecognized tax benefits would affect the effective tax rate if realized. The balance of unrecognized tax benefits at March 31, 2014 was $4.0 million (December 31, 2013 - $4.0 million). The Company had accrued $1.6 million at March 31, 2014 (December 31, 2013 - $1.2 million) for the payment of interest and penalties relating to unrecognized tax benefits.
	Income tax expense was $11.8 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2014, compared to $7.1 million for the same period in 2013. The increase in enacted tax rate from 30% to 39% from the second quarter 2013 amendment to the Puerto Rico tax Code resulted in the increased quarterly income tax expense for this quarter as compared to the same quarter of 2013.

	Regulatory Capital Requirements
	The Company (on a consolidated basis) and the Bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by federal and Puerto Rico banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company's and the Bank's financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Company and the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of their assets, liabilities and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors. Pursuant to the Dodd-Frank Act, federal banking regulators have adopted new capital rules that became effective January 1, 2014 for advanced approaches banking organizations and will become effective January 1, 2015 for all other covered organizations (subject to certain phase-in periods through January 1, 2019) and that will replace their general risk-based capital rules, advanced approaches rule, market risk rule, and leverage rules.
	Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy currently require the Company and the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the following table) of total and Tier 1 capital (as defined in the regulations) to risk-weighted assets (as defined in the regulations) and of Tier 1 capital to average total assets (as defined in the regulations). As of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company and the Bank met all capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject. As of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Bank is “well capitalized” under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as “well capitalized,” an institution must maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier 1 risk-based and Tier 1 leverage ratios as set forth in the following tables.
	The Company's and the Bank's actual capital amounts and ratios as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 are as follows

Moreover, in computing diluted earnings per common share, the dividends declared during the quarters ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 on the convertible preferred stock were added back as income available to common shareholders.
	For the quarters ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, weighted-average stock options with an anti-dilutive effect on earnings per share not included in the calculation amounted to 254,662, and 653,843, respectively
	Treasury Stock
	Under the Company's current stock repurchase program it is authorized to purchase in the open market up to $70 million of its outstanding shares of common stock, of which approximately $23.1 million of authority remains. The shares of common stock repurchased are to be held by the Company as treasury shares. During the quarter ended March 31, 2014, the Company purchased 707,400 shares under this program for a total of $10.4 million, at an average price of $14.66 per share. There were no repurchases during 2013.
	The following table presents the shares repurchased for each month in the quarter ended March 31, 2014, excluding the month ended March 31, 2014, during which no shares were purchased as part of the stock repurchase program:

The number of shares that may yet be purchased under the $70 million program is estimated at 1,341,002 and was calculated by dividing the remaining balance of $23.1 million by $17.19 (closing price of the Company common stock at March 31, 2014). The Company did not purchase any shares of its common stock other than through its publicly announced stock repurchase program during the quarter ended March 31, 2014.

Guarantees [Abstract]	'
Guarantees [Text Block]	'
	NOTE 15 – GUARANTEES
	At March 31, 2014 the unamortized balance of the obligations undertaken in issuing the guarantees under standby letters of credit represented a liability of $38.9 million (December 31, 2013 - $38.6 million).
	The Company assumed a liability for residential mortgage loans sold by BBVAPR Bank subject to credit recourse, principally loans associated with FNMA residential mortgage loan sales and securitization programs. At March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the unpaid principal balance of residential mortgage loans sold subject to credit recourse was $118.2 million and $122.3 million, respectively. In the event of any customer default, pursuant to the credit recourse provided, the Company is required to repurchase the loan or reimburse the third party investor for the incurred loss. The maximum potential amount of future payments that the Company would be required to make under the recourse arrangements in the event of nonperformance by the borrowers is equivalent to the total outstanding balance of the residential mortgage loans serviced with recourse and interest, if applicable. During the quarter ended March 31, 2014, the Company repurchased approximately $1.6 million of unpaid principal balance in mortgage loans subject to the credit recourse provisions. In the event of nonperformance by the borrower, the Company has rights to the underlying collateral securing the mortgage loan. The Company suffers ultimate losses on these loans when the proceeds from a foreclosure sale of the property underlying a defaulted mortgage loan are less than the outstanding principal balance of the loan plus any uncollected interest advanced and the costs of holding and disposing the related property. At March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 the Company's liability established to cover the estimated credit loss exposure related to loans sold with credit recourse amounted to $1.5 million (December 31, 2013 – $2.0 million). The following table shows the changes in the Company's liability of estimated loss from these credit recourse agreements, included in the unaudited consolidated statements of financial condition during the quarters ended March 31, 2014 and 2013.
		Quarter Ended March 31,

	Additions from BBVAPR Acquisition		-		2,460
	Net charge-offs/terminations		-406		-
	Balance at end of year	$	1,549	$	2,460
	The estimated losses to be absorbed under the credit recourse arrangements are recorded as a liability when the loans are sold or credit recourse is assumed, and are updated on a quarterly basis. The expected loss, which represents the amount expected to be lost on a given loan, considers the probability of default and loss severity. The probability of default represents the probability that a loan in good standing would become 120 days delinquent, in which case the Company is obligated to repurchase the loan. At March 31, 2014, $86.5 million or 73% of the recourse obligation will be extinguished during the next two years.
	When the Company sells or securitizes mortgage loans, it generally makes customary representations and warranties regarding the characteristics of the loans sold. The Company's mortgage operations division groups conforming mortgage loans into pools which are exchanged for FNMA and GNMA mortgage-backed securities, which are generally sold to private investors, or are sold directly to FNMA or other private investors for cash. As required under such mortgage backed securities programs, quality review procedures are performed by the Company to ensure that asset guideline qualifications are met. To the extent the loans do not meet specified characteristics, the Company may be required to repurchase such loans or indemnify for losses and bear any subsequent loss related to the loans. Repurchases during the quarter ended March 31, 2014 under the Company's representation and warranty arrangements, excluding mortgage loans subject to credit recourse provisions referred to above, approximated $2.8 million in unpaid principal balance (December 31, 2013 - $12.5 million). A substantial amount of these loans reinstate to performing status or have mortgage insurance, and thus the ultimate losses on the loans are not deemed significant.
	During the quarter ended March 31, 2014, the Company recognized $50 thousand in losses from the repurchase of residential mortgage loans sold, subject to credit recourse and $434 thousand not subject to credit recourse. In addition, during the quarter ended March 31, 2013, the Company recognized $25 thousand in losses from the repurchase of residential mortgage loans sold, subject to credit recourse and $2 thousand not subject to credit recourse.
	Servicing agreements relating to the mortgage-backed securities programs of FNMA and GNMA, and to mortgage loans sold or serviced to certain other investors, including FHLMC, require the Company to advance funds to make scheduled payments of principal, interest, taxes and insurance, if such payments have not been received from the borrowers. At March 31, 2014, the Company serviced $1.1 billion in mortgage loans for third-parties. The Company generally recovers funds advanced pursuant to these arrangements from the mortgage owner, from liquidation proceeds when the mortgage loan is foreclosed or, in the case of FHA/VA loans, under the applicable FHA and VA insurance and guarantees programs. However, in the meantime, the Company must absorb the cost of the funds it advances during the time the advance is outstanding. The Company must also bear the costs of attempting to collect on delinquent and defaulted mortgage loans. In addition, if a defaulted loan is not cured, the mortgage loan would be canceled as part of the foreclosure proceedings and the Company would not receive any future servicing income with respect to that loan. At March 31, 2014, the outstanding balance of funds advanced by the Company under such mortgage loan servicing agreements was approximately $323 thousand (December 31, 2013 - $243 thousand). To the extent the mortgage loans underlying the Company's servicing portfolio experience increased delinquencies, the Company would be required to dedicate additional cash resources to comply with its obligation to advance funds as well as incur additional administrative costs related to increases in collection efforts.

Commitments and Contingencies [Abstract]	'
COMMITMENTS	'
	NOTE 16 — COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
	Loan Commitments
	In the normal course of business, the Company becomes a party to credit-related financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit, standby and commercial letters of credit, and financial guarantees. Those instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amounts recognized in the consolidated statements of financial condition. The contract or notional amount of those instruments reflects the extent of the Company's involvement in particular types of financial instruments.
	The Company's exposure to credit losses in the event of nonperformance by the counterparty to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit, including commitments under credit card arrangements, and commercial letters of credit is represented by the contractual notional amounts of those instruments, which do not necessarily represent the amounts potentially subject to risk. In addition, the measurement of the risks associated with these instruments is meaningful only when all related and offsetting transactions are identified. The Company uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance-sheet instruments.
	Summarized credit-related financial instruments at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 were as follows:
		March 31,		December 31,
		2014		2013
		(In thousands)
	Commitments to extend credit	$	494,327	$	520,269
	Commercial letters of credit		1,740		1,096
	Commitments to extend credit represent agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. The Company evaluates each customer's creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if it is deemed necessary by the Company upon the extension of credit, is based on management's credit evaluation of the counterparty.
	At March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, commitments to extend credit consisted mainly of undisbursed available amounts on commercial lines of credit, construction loans, and revolving credit card arrangements. Since many of the unused commitments are expected to expire unused or be only partially used, the total amount of these unused commitments does not necessarily represent future cash requirements. These lines of credit had a reserve of $900 thousand at both March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013.
	Commercial letters of credit are issued or confirmed to guarantee payment of customers' payables or receivables in short-term international trade transactions. Generally, drafts will be drawn when the underlying transaction is consummated as intended. However, the short-term nature of this instrument serves to mitigate the risk associated with these contracts.
	The summary of instruments that are considered financial guarantees in accordance with the authoritative guidance related to guarantor's accounting and disclosure requirements for guarantees, including indirect guarantees of indebtedness of others, at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, is as follows:
		March 31,		December 31,
		2014		2013
		(In thousands)
	Standby letters of credit and financial guarantees	$	38,875	$	38,577
	Loans sold with recourse		118,163		122,291
	Commitments to sell or securitize mortgage loans		34,220		99,307
	Standby letters of credit and financial guarantees are written conditional commitments issued by the Company to guarantee the payment and/or performance of a customer to a third party (“beneficiary”). If the customer fails to comply with the agreement, the beneficiary may draw on the standby letter of credit or financial guarantee as a remedy. The amount of credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit in the event of nonperformance is the face amount of the letter of credit or financial guarantee. These guarantees are primarily issued to support public and private borrowing arrangements, including commercial paper, bond financing, and similar transactions. The amount of collateral obtained, if it is deemed necessary by the Company upon extension of credit, is based on management's credit evaluation of the customer.
	Lease Commitments
	The Company has entered into various operating lease agreements for branch facilities and administrative offices. Rent expense for the quarters ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, amounted to $2.5 million, and $2.7 million, respectively, and is included in the “occupancy and equipment” caption in the unaudited consolidated statements of operations. Future rental commitments under leases in effect at March 31, 2014, exclusive of taxes, insurance, and maintenance expenses payable by the Company, are summarized as follows:
	Quarter Ending March 31,	Minimum Rent
		(In thousands)
	2014	$	6,170
	2015		8,013
	2016		7,388

CONTINGENCIES	'
	Contingencies
	The Company and its subsidiaries are defendants in a number of legal proceedings incidental to their business. In the ordinary course of business, the Company and its subsidiaries are also subject to governmental and regulatory examinations. Certain subsidiaries of the Company, including the Bank (and its subsidiary OIB), Oriental Financial Services, and Oriental Insurance, are subject to regulation by various U.S., Puerto Rico and other regulators.
	The Company seeks to resolve all litigation and regulatory matters in the manner management believes is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders, and contests allegations of liability or wrongdoing and, where applicable, the amount of damages or scope of any penalties or other relief sought as appropriate in each pending matter.
	Subject to the accounting and disclosure framework under the provisions of ASC 450, it is the opinion of the Company's management, based on current knowledge and after taking into account its current legal accruals, that the eventual outcome of all matters would not be likely to have a material adverse effect on the consolidated statements of financial condition of the Company. Nonetheless, given the substantial or indeterminate amounts sought in certain of these matters, and the inherent unpredictability of such matters, an adverse outcome in certain of these matters could, from time to time, have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated results of operations or cash flows in particular quarterly or annual periods. The Company has evaluated all litigation and regulatory matters where the likelihood of a potential loss is deemed reasonably possible. The Company has determined that the estimate of the reasonably possible loss is not significant.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments	3 Months Ended
	Mar. 31, 2014
Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]	'
FAIR VALUE	'
	NOTE 17 - FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
	The Company follows the fair value measurement framework under GAAP.
	Fair Value Measurement
	The fair value measurement framework defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. This framework also establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The standard describes three levels of inputs previously described that may be used to measure fair value.
	Money market investments
	The fair value of money market investments is based on the carrying amounts reflected in the consolidated statements of financial condition as these are reasonable estimates of fair value given the short-term nature of the instruments.
	Investment securities
	The fair value of investment securities is based on quoted market prices, when available, or market prices provided by recognized broker-dealers. If listed prices or quotes are not available, fair value is based upon externally developed models that use both observable and unobservable inputs depending on the market activity of the instrument. The Company holds two securities categorized as other debt that are classified as Level 3. The estimated fair value of the other debt securities is determined by using a third-party model to calculate the present value of projected future cash flows. The assumptions are highly uncertain and include primarily market discount rates, current spreads, and an indicative pricing. The assumptions used are drawn from similar securities that are actively traded in the market and have similar characteristics as the collateral underlying the debt securities being evaluated. The valuation is performed on a monthly basis.
	Derivative instruments
	The fair value of the interest rate swaps is largely a function of the financial market's expectations regarding the future direction of interest rates. Accordingly, current market values are not necessarily indicative of the future impact of derivative instruments on earnings. This will depend, for the most part, on the shape of the yield curve, the level of interest rates, as well as the expectations for rates in the future. The fair value of most of these derivative instruments is based on observable market parameters, which include discounting the instruments' cash flows using the U.S. dollar LIBOR-based discount rates, and also applying yield curves that account for the industry sector and the credit rating of the counterparty and/or the Company.
	Certain other derivative instruments with limited market activity are valued using externally developed models that consider unobservable market parameters. Based on their valuation methodology, derivative instruments are classified as Level 2 or Level 3. The Company has offered its customers certificates of deposit with an option tied to the performance of the S&P Index and uses equity indexed option agreements with major broker-dealers to manage its exposure to changes in this index. Their fair value is obtained through the use of an external based valuation that was thoroughly evaluated and adopted by management as its measurement tool for these options. The payoff of these options is linked to the average value of the S&P Index on a specific set of dates during the life of the option. The methodology uses an average rate option or a cash-settled option whose payoff is based on the difference between the expected average value of the S&P Index during the remaining life of the option and the strike price at inception. The assumptions, which are uncertain and require a degree of judgment, include primarily S&P Index volatility, forward interest rate projections, estimated index dividend payout, and leverage.
	Servicing assets
	Servicing assets do not trade in an active market with readily observable prices. Servicing assets are priced using a discounted cash flow model. The valuation model considers servicing fees, portfolio characteristics, prepayment assumptions, delinquency rates, late charges, other ancillary revenues, cost to service and other economic factors. Due to the unobservable nature of certain valuation inputs, the servicing rights are classified as Level 3.
	Loans receivable considered impaired that are collateral dependent
	The impairment is measured based on the fair value of the collateral, which is derived from appraisals that take into consideration prices in observed transactions involving similar assets in similar locations, in accordance with the provisions of ASC 310-10-35. Currently, the associated loans considered impaired are classified as Level 3.
	Foreclosed real estate
	Foreclosed real estate includes real estate properties securing residential mortgage and commercial loans. The fair value of foreclosed real estate may be determined using an external appraisal, broker price option or an internal valuation. These foreclosed assets are classified as Level 3 given certain internal adjustments that may be made to external appraisals.
	Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring and non-recurring basis, including financial liabilities for which the Company has elected the fair value option, are summarized below:

Information about Sensitivity to Changes in Significant Unobservable Inputs
Other debt securities – The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of one of the Company's other debt securities are indicative comparable pricing, option adjusted spread (“OAS”), yield to maturity, and spread to maturity. Significant changes in any of those inputs in isolation would result in a significantly different fair value measurement. Generally, a change in the assumption used for indicative comparable pricing is accompanied by a directionally opposite change in the assumption used for OAS and a directionally, although not equally proportional, opposite change in the assumptions used for yield to maturity and spread to maturity.
Derivative asset (S&P Purchased Options) – The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Company's derivative assets related to S&P purchased options are implied option volatility and counterparty credit risk. Significant changes in any of those inputs in isolation would result in a significantly different fair value measurement. Generally, a change in the assumption used for implied option volatility is not necessarily accompanied by directionally similar or opposite changes in the assumption used for counterparty credit risk.
Servicing assets – The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Company's servicing assets are constant prepayment rates and discount rates. Changes in one factor may result in changes in another (for example, increases in market interest rates may result in lower prepayments), which may magnify or offset the sensitivities. Mortgage banking activities, a component of total banking and financial service revenue in the consolidated statements of operations, include the changes from period to period in the fair value of the mortgage loan servicing rights, which may result from changes in the valuation model inputs or assumptions (principally reflecting changes in discount rates and prepayment speed assumptions) and other changes, including changes due to collection/realization of expected cash flows.
Derivative liability (S&P Embedded Options) – The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Company's derivative liability related to S&P purchased options are implied option volatility and counterparty credit risk. Significant changes in any of those inputs in isolation would result in a significantly different fair value measurement. Generally, a change in the assumption used for implied option volatility is not necessarily accompanied by directionally similar or opposite changes in the assumption used for counterparty credit risk.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The information about the estimated fair value of financial instruments required by GAAP is presented hereunder. The aggregate fair value amounts presented do not necessarily represent management's estimate of the underlying value of the Company.
The estimated fair value is subjective in nature, involves uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and, therefore, cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could affect these fair value estimates. The fair value estimates do not take into consideration the value of future business and the value of assets and liabilities that are not financial instruments. Other significant tangible and intangible assets that are not considered financial instruments are the value of long-term customer relationships of retail deposits, and premises and equipment.
The estimated fair value and carrying value of the Company's financial instruments at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 is as follows:

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair values of significant financial instruments at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013:
•       Cash and cash equivalents (including money market investments and time deposits with other banks), restricted cash, accrued interest receivable, securities purchased under agreements to resell, securities sold but not yet delivered, accrued expenses and other liabilities have been valued at the carrying amounts reflected in the consolidated statements of financial condition as these are reasonable estimates of fair value given the short-term nature of the instruments.
•       Investments in FHLB-NY stock are valued at their redemption value.
•       The fair value of investment securities, including trading securities, is based on quoted market prices, when available, or market prices provided by recognized broker-dealers. If listed prices or quotes are not available, fair value is based upon externally developed models that use both observable and unobservable inputs depending on the market activity of the instrument. The estimated fair value of the structured credit investments is determined by using a third-party cash flow valuation model to calculate the present value of projected future cash flows. The assumptions used which are highly uncertain and require a high degree of judgment, include primarily market discount rates, current spreads, duration, leverage, default, home price depreciation, and loss rates. The assumptions used are drawn from a wide array of data sources, including the performance of the collateral underlying each deal. The external-based valuation, which is obtained at least on a quarterly basis, is analyzed and its assumptions are evaluated and incorporated in either an internal-based valuation model when deemed necessary, or compared to counterparties' prices and agreed by management.
•       The fair value of the FDIC shared-loss indemnification asset represents the present value of the net estimated cash payments expected to be received from the FDIC for future losses on covered assets based on the credit assumptions on estimated cash flows for each covered asset pool and the loss sharing percentages. The ultimate collectability of the FDIC shared-loss indemnification asset is dependent upon the performance of the underlying covered loans, the passage of time and claims paid by the FDIC which are impacted by the Bank's adherence to certain guidelines established by the FDIC.
•       The fair value of servicing assets is estimated by using a cash flow valuation model which calculates the present value of estimated future net servicing cash flows, taking into consideration actual and expected loan prepayment rates, discount rates, servicing costs, and other economic factors, which are determined based on current market conditions.
•       The fair values of the derivative instruments are provided by valuation experts and counterparties. Certain derivatives with limited market activity are valued using externally developed models that consider unobservable market parameters. The Company has offered its customers certificates of deposit with an option tied to the performance of the S&P Index, and uses equity indexed option agreements with major broker-dealers to manage its exposure to changes in this index. Their fair value is obtained through the use of an external based valuation that was thoroughly evaluated and adopted by management as its measurement tool for these options. The payoff of these options is linked to the average value of the S&P Index on a specific set of dates during the life of the option. The methodology uses an average rate option or a cash-settled option whose payoff is based on the difference between the expected average value of the S&P Index during the remaining life of the option and the strike price at inception. The assumptions, which are uncertain and require a degree of judgment, include primarily S&P Index volatility, forward interest rate projections, estimated index dividend payout, and leverage.
•       Fair value of derivative liabilities, which include interest rate swaps and forward-settlement swaps, are based on the net discounted value of the contractual projected cash flows of both the pay-fixed receive-variable legs of the contracts. The projected cash flows are based on the forward yield curve, and discounted using current estimated market rates.
•       The fair value of the covered and non-covered loan portfolio (including loans held-for-sale) is estimated by segregating by type, such as mortgage, commercial, consumer, auto and leasing. Each loan segment is further segmented into fixed and adjustable interest rates and by performing and non-performing categories. The fair value of performing loans is calculated by discounting contractual cash flows, adjusted for prepayment estimates (voluntary and involuntary), if any, using estimated current market discount rates that reflect the credit and interest rate risk inherent in the loan. This fair value is not currently an indication of an exit price as that type of assumption could result in a different fair value estimate.
•       The fair value of demand deposits and savings accounts is the amount payable on demand at the reporting date. The fair value of fixed-maturity certificates of deposit is based on the discounted value of the contractual cash flows, using estimated current market discount rates for deposits of similar remaining maturities.
•       For short term borrowings and federal funds purchased, the carrying amount is considered a reasonable estimate of fair value. The fair value of long-term borrowings, which include securities sold under agreements to repurchase, advances from FHLB-NY, FDIC-guaranteed term notes, other term notes, and subordinated capital notes, is based on the discounted value of the contractual cash flows using current estimated market discount rates for borrowings with similar terms, remaining maturities and put dates.
•       The fair value of commitments to extend credit and unused lines of credit is based on fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the counterparties' credit standings.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]	'
SEGMENT REPORTING	'
	NOTE 18 – BUSINESS SEGMENTS
	The Company segregates its businesses into the following major reportable segments of business: Banking, Wealth Management, and Treasury. Management established the reportable segments based on the internal reporting used to evaluate performance and to assess where to allocate resources. Other factors such as the Company's organization, nature of its products, distribution channels and economic characteristics of the products were also considered in the determination of the reportable segments. The Company measures the performance of these reportable segments based on pre-established goals of different financial parameters such as net income, net interest income, loan production, and fees generated. The Company's methodology for allocating non-interest expenses among segments is based on several factors such as revenue, employee headcount, occupied space, dedicated services or time, among others. These factors are reviewed on a periodical basis and may change if the conditions warrant.
	Banking includes the Bank's branches and traditional banking products such as deposits and commercial, consumer and mortgage loans. Mortgage banking activities are carried out by the Bank's mortgage banking division, whose principal activity is to originate mortgage loans for the Company's own portfolio. As part of its mortgage banking activities, the Company may sell loans directly into the secondary market or securitize conforming loans into mortgage-backed securities.
	Wealth Management is comprised of the Bank's trust division, Oriental Financial Services, Oriental Insurance, and CPC. The core operations of this segment are financial planning, money management and investment banking, brokerage services, insurance sales activity, corporate and individual trust and retirement services, as well as pension plan administration services.
	The Treasury segment encompasses all of the Company's asset/liability management activities, such as purchases and sales of investment securities, interest rate risk management, derivatives, and borrowings. Intersegment sales and transfers, if any, are accounted for as if the sales or transfers were to third parties, that is, at current market prices.
	Following are the results of operations and the selected financial information by operating segment as of and for the quarters ended March 31, 2014 and 2013:

	Recent Accounting Developments
	Reclassification of Defaulted Consumer Mortgage Loans upon Foreclosure - In January 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2014-04, Receivables—Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors (Subtopic 310-40): Reclassification of Residential Real Estate Collateralized Consumer Mortgage Loans upon Foreclosure. This ASU clarifies when an in-substance repossession or foreclosure occurs that would require a transfer of the mortgage loan to other real estate owned (OREO). Under the ASU, repossession or foreclosure is deemed to have occurred when (1) the creditor obtains legal title to the residential real estate property or (2) the borrower conveys all interest in the residential real estate property to the creditor to satisfy the mortgage loan through completion of a deed in lieu of foreclosure or a similar legal agreement. The ASU will become effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2014. The ASU can be adopted using either a modified retrospective method or a prospective transition method with the cumulative effect being recognized in the beginning retained earnings of the earliest annual period for which the ASU is adopted. The adoption of this guidance will not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements, since the Company already follows the same basis approach.
	Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carry-forward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carry-forward Exists In July 2013, FASB issued ASU No. 2013-11, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carry-forward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carry-forward Exists (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task, which requires that an unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion of an unrecognized tax benefit, be presented in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward. When a net operating loss, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward is not available at the reporting date under the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction to settle any additional taxes that would result from the disallowance of a tax position, or the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction does not require the entity to use, and the entity does not intend to use, the deferred tax asset for such purposes, the unrecognized tax benefit should be presented in the financial statements as a liability and should not be combined with deferred tax assets. The assessment of whether a deferred tax asset is available is based on the unrecognized tax benefit and deferred tax asset that exist at the reporting date and should be made presuming disallowance of the tax position at the reporting date. Currently, there is no explicit guidance under U.S. GAAP on the financial statement presentation of an unrecognized tax benefit when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward exists. The amendment of this guidance does not require new recurring disclosures. ASU 2013-11 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments of this ASU should be applied prospectively to all unrecognized tax benefits that exist at the effective date. Retrospective application is permitted. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements, since the Company already followed the same basis approach.

Income Taxes [Abstract]	'	'	'
Changes due to tax law enacted, Description	'On June 30, 2013 the Governor signed Act No. 40-2013, known as “Ley de Redistribución y Ajuste de la Carga Contributiva” (Act of Redistribution and Adjustment of Tax Burden), as amended. The main purpose of the Act is to increase government collections in order to alleviate the structural deficit. The most relevant provisions of the Act, as applicable to the Company, and effective for taxable years beginning after December 31,2012 are as follows: (1) the maximum Corporate Income Tax rate was increased from 30% to 39%; (2) the deduction allowed for determining the income subject to surtax was reduced from $750,000 to $25,000 (which must be allocated among the members of a controlled group of corporations); (3) the allowable Net Operating Loss (“NOL”) deduction was reduced to (i) 90% of the corporation’s net income subject to regular tax for purposes of computing the regular income tax, and (ii) 80% of the alternative minimum taxable income for purposes of computing the alternative minimum tax (“AMT”); (4) the NOL carryover period was extended from 10 to 12 years for NOLs incurred in taxable years beginning after December 31, 2004 and before January 1, 2013, and from 7 to 10 years for losses incurred in taxable years beginning after December 31, 2012; (5) a new special tax based on gross income (the “Special Tax”) was added to the Puerto Rico Internal Revenue Code of 2011, as further described below; and (6) a special tax of 1% was imposed on insurance premiums earned after June 30, 2013. In the case of non-financial institutions, the Special Tax is paid as part of the AMT and thus is accounted for under the provisions of ASC 740. The applicable Special Tax rate for non-financial institutions increases gradually from 0.2% for gross income equal to or in excess of $1.0 million up to 0.85% for gross income in excess of $1.5 billion. In the case of a controlled group of corporations, the tax rate for all members of the group is determined by the aggregate gross income of all members in the group. In the case of financial institutions, the Special Tax is not part of the AMT calculation thus is accounted for as other tax not subject to the provisions of ASC 740 since the same is based on gross income. The applicable Special Tax rate for financial institutions is 1% of its gross income of a taxable year, of which fifty percent (50%) may be claimed as a credit against the financial institution’s applicable income tax of that year.
