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”). 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, 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 of Eurobank, a Puerto Rico commercial bank, in an FDIC-assisted acquisition. On December 18, 2012, the Company acquired a group of Puerto Rico based entities that included Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria Puerto Rico (“BBVAPR”), a Puerto Rico commercial bank, as well as a securities broker-dealer and an insurance agency, which is referred to herein as the “BBVAPR Acquisition.” The businesses acquired in these acquisitions have been integrated with the Company's existing business.
Significant Accounting Policies	'
	Recent Accounting Developments
	In August 2014, the Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB”) issued a new going concern standard, which requires management to assess at each interim and annual reporting period whether substantial doubt exists about the company's ability to continue as a going concern. Substantial doubt exists if it is probable (the same threshold that is used for contingencies) that the company will be unable to meet its obligations as they become due within one year after the date the financial statements are issued or available to be issued (assessment date). Management needs to consider known (and reasonably knowable) events and conditions at the assessment date. For all entities, this standard is effective for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, with earlier adoption permitted. The adoption of this standard will have no material impact on our financial position or results of operations.
	In August 2014, FASB issued new guidance requiring creditors to classify certain foreclosed, government-guaranteed, mortgage loans as receivables. The receivable is measured at the amount expected to be recovered under the guarantee, which is not treated as a separate unit of account. For public business entities, this guidance is effective for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2014, with earlier adoption permitted if the entity already has adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-04. An entity should adopt the amendments in this update using either a prospective transition method or a modified retrospective transition method. We are currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of this guidance will have on our financial position and results of operations.
	Other than the accounting pronouncements disclosed above, there was no other new accounting pronouncement issued during the third quarter of 2014 that could have a material impact on the Company's financial position, operating results or financials statement disclosures.

	NOTE 3 – INVESTMENT SECURITIES
	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 September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, money market instruments included as part of cash and cash equivalents amounted to $7.8 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 September 30, 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. The fair value of the collateral securities held by the Company on these transactions as of December 31, 2013 was approximately $64.6 million.

At December 31, 2013, obligations of the Puerto Rico government and its political subdivisions included a $98.7 million principal amount, LIBOR floating rate bond with a 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 17, 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 nine-month period ended September 30, 2014, the Company sold $74.1 million of available-for-sale Government National Mortgage Association (“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 nine-month period ended September 30, 2014, the Company sold $110.8 million of available-for-sale FNMA and FHLMC certificates 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. The Company recorded a net gain on sale of these securities of $4.4 million. The table below presents the gross realized gains by category for such period. There was no realized gain or loss for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2013.

The Company performs valuations of the investment securities 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 investment ($479.0 million or 96%) with an unrealized loss position at September 30, 2014 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 ($20.9 million or 4%) with an unrealized loss position at September 30, 2014 consist of obligations issued or guaranteed 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. Moreover, uncertainty in regards to the impact of the recently enacted Public Corporation Debt Enforcement and Recovery Act (the “Recovery Act”) and the related subsequent negative rating decisions taken by the credit rating agencies has affected the market value of these securities.
As of September 30, 2014, the Company applied a discounted cash flow analysis to the Puerto Rico government bonds to calculate the cash flows expected to be collected and determine if any portion of the decline in market value of these investments was considered an other-than-temporary impairment. The analysis derives an estimate of value based on the present value of risk-adjusted future cash flows of the underlying investments, and included the following components:
The contractual future cash flows of the bonds are projected based on the key terms as set forth in the official statements for each investment. Such key terms include among others the interest rate, amortization schedule, if any, and maturity date.
The risk-adjusted cash flows are calculated based on monthly default probability and recovery rate assumptions based on the credit rating of each investment. Constant monthly default rates are assumed throughout the life of the bonds which are based on the respective security's credit rating as of the date of the analysis.
The adjusted future cash flows are then discounted at the original effective yield of each investment based on the purchase price and expected risk-adjusted future cash flows as of the purchase date of each investment.
The discounted cash flow analysis for the investments showed at maturity in the range of 2.509% to 15.340%, thus reflecting that it is more likely than not that the bonds will not default at all during their remaining terms (range between 84.660% and 97.491%). Based on this analysis, the Company determined that it is more likely than not that it will recover all interest and principal invested in the Puerto Rico government bonds and is therefore not required to recognize a credit loss as of September 30, 2014.

	NOTE 4 - LOANS
	The Company's loan portfolio is composed of covered loans and non-covered loans. Covered loans are subject to loss sharing agreements with the FDIC and non-covered loans are not subject to FDIC loss sharing agreements. The risks of covered loans are different from the risks of non-covered loans because of the loss protection provided by the FDIC to covered loans. 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 subdivided 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).

At September 30, 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. Such portfolios are increasing as new originations are ramping up the balances outstanding. More than a year from the BBVAPR Acquisition, those portfolios are beginning to reflect normal delinquency levels as seasoned portfolios. At September 30, 2014, the increase in delinquencies in the mortgage portfolio compared to December 31, 2013 is mainly attributed to Puerto Rico's prolonged recession.
At September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company had $458.0 million and $515.4 million, respectively, 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 September 30, 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 tables present the aging of the recorded investment in gross acquired loans accounted for under ASC 310-20 as of September 30, 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.
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.
At September 30, 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 $273.6 million and $66.5 million, respectively, as they are performing under their new terms. During the quarter ended September 30, 2014, the revolving line of credit to finance the purchase of fuel for the day to day power generation activities of the Puerto Rico Electric Power Authority (“PREPA”) was classified substandard and a troubled-debt restructuring. Based on our analysis, the loan is being maintained in accrual status requiring no impairment. At September 30, 2014 this line of credit had an unpaid principal balance of $200.0 million.
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 $226.8 million and $28.4 million at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. Impaired commercial loans at September 30, 2014 included the PREPA line of credit with an unpaid principal balance of $200.0 million. 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 $1.1 million and $1.4 million at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. The total investment in impaired mortgage loans was $91.7 million and $84.5 million at September 30, 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 $7.9 million and $8.7 million at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.

Credit Quality Indicators
The Company categorizes non-covered originated and other loans 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:
Pass: Loans classified as “pass” have a well defined primary source of repayment very likely to be sufficient, with no apparent risk, strong financial position, minimal operating risk, profitability, liquidity and capitalization better than industry standards.
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 September 30, 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:

All loans individually measured for impairment are classified as substandard as of September 30, 2014.
At September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, we had approximately $647.9 million and $763.4 million, respectively, of credit facilities granted to the Puerto Rico government, including its instrumentalities, public corporations and municipalities, of which $626.8 million and $696.0 million, 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 have received appropriations or are due 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.
In the second quarter of 2014, the government enacted the Puerto Rico Public Corporation Debt Enforcement and Recovery Act (the “Recovery Act”), which establishes procedures for the adjustment of certain public corporations' debts. The Recovery Act states in its preamble that it further promotes the central government's public policy objectives of no longer providing financial support to public corporations and promoting their economic independence. The Recovery Act, which is without precedent and is being challenged in federal court on constitutional grounds, has increased the level of uncertainty as to the rights of the affected public corporation's creditors. As of September 30, 2014, we had approximately $382.1 million of credit facilities granted to public corporations authorized to initiate proceedings under the Recovery Act.
Oriental Bank is part of a four bank syndicate providing a $550 million dollar revolving line of credit to finance the purchase of fuel for the day to day power generation activities of PREPA, a public corporation authorized to seek relief under the Recovery Act. The Bank's participation in the line of credit has an unpaid principal balance of $200.0 million as of September 30, 2014. The Company, as part of the bank syndicate, agreed during the quarter to extend its credit facility with PREPA to March 31, 2015. In connection with such extension, PREPA appointed a Chief Restructuring Officer to work alongside the Executive Director to develop, organize and manage a financial and operational restructuring of PREPA subject to the approval of PREPA's Board. PREPA also committed to delivering a comprehensive business plan by December 15, 2014 and a full debt restructuring plan by March 2, 2015. After the extension, the Company classified the credit as substandard and a troubled-debt restructuring. The Company conducted an impairment analysis considering the probability of collection of principal and interest. Based on the experience and knowledge of the borrower, independent scenarios were developed to assess the collectability of the Company's current credit exposure to PREPA. Such scenarios project very probable outcomes based on a conservative set of assumptions related to PREPA's ability for future cash flow generation. The Company concluded that the loan should be maintained in accrual status requiring no impairment.
For residential and consumer loan classes, the Company evaluates credit quality based on the delinquency status of the loan. As of September 30, 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:

	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. Same analysis was performed for the commercial portfolio during the quarter ended June 30, 2014.  As a result, the look-back period was changed to 24 months from the previously determined 12 months for auto and leasing and consumer.  For the commercial portfolio, a look back period of 12 months was maintained.  In addition, during the quarter ended June 30, 2014, an assessment of environmental factors was performed for commercial, auto, and consumer portfolios. As a result, the environmental factors continue to reflect our assessment of the impact to our portfolio, taking into consideration the current evolution of the portfolio and expected impact, due to recent economic developments, changes in values of collateral and delinquencies, among others. These changes in the allowance for loan and lease losses' look-back period for the consumer and auto and leasing portfolios, and economic factors for the commercial, auto, and consumer portfolios are considered a change in accounting estimate as per ASC 250-10 provisions, where adjustments should be made prospectively.

Non-covered acquired loans 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 nine-month period ended September 30, 2013.
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 and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 were as follows:
	Quarter Ended September 30,						Nine-Month Period Ended September 30,
	2014			2013			2014			2013

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.

FDIC Indemnification Asset and True-up Payment Obligation [Text Block]	'
	NOTE 6- FDIC INDEMNIFICATION ASSET AND TRUE-UP PAYMENT OBLIGATION
	In connection with the FDIC assisted acquisition, the Bank and the FDIC entered into shared-loss agreements pursuant to which the FDIC covers a substantial portion of any losses on loans (and related unfunded loan commitments), foreclosed real estate and other repossessed properties covered by the agreements.
	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 FDIC 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 indemnification asset and true-up payment obligation for the quarters and nine month periods ended September 30, 2014 and 2013:

	The FDIC shared- loss expense bears an inverse relationship with a change in the yield of covered pools in accordance with ASC 310-30. ASC 310-30 dictates that such pools should be subject to increases in their yield when the present value of the expected cash flows is higher than the pool's carrying balance. When the increases in cash flow expectations are driven by reductions in the expected credit losses, the Bank recognizes that such losses are no longer expected to be collected from the FDIC. Accordingly, the Bank reduces the FDIC indemnification asset by amortizing the reduction in expected collections throughout the remaining life of the underlying pools. This amortization is recognized in the FDIC shared-loss expense.
	The underlying factors that caused an increase in the expected cash flows and resulting reduction in projected losses are derived from the pool-level cash flow forecasts. Credit loss assumptions used to develop each pool-level cash flow forecast are based on the behavior of defaults, recoveries and losses of the corresponding pool of covered loans.
	The FDIC indemnification asset expense of $16.1 million and $51.2 million for the quarter and nine-month period ended September 30, 2014 increased when compared to $15.2 million and $46.6 million for the same periods in 2013. These changes were caused by 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 nine-month period ended September 30, 2014 as compared to the projections in 2013. The reduction in claimable losses amortizes the FDIC 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 and nine-month period ended September 30, 2014, the net amortization included $2.6 million and $7.7 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, $84.3 million, 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 period during which recoveries are shared extends for an additional three-years.
	Also in connection with the FDIC assisted acquisition, 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 $21.1 million and $18.5 million, net of discount, as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. The estimated liability is included within accrued expenses and other liabilities in the unaudited consolidated statements of financial condition.
	The true-up payment obligation, also known as clawback liability, may increase if actual and expected losses decline. The Company measures the true-up payment obligation at fair value. During the quarter and nine-month period ended September 30, 2014, the fair value of the true-up payment obligation increased by $875 thousand and $2.6 million, respectively, compared to increases of $767 thousand and $2.2 million for the same periods in 2013. These changes in fair value are included as change in true-up payment obligation within FDIC shared-loss expense, net in the unaudited consolidated statements of operations.
	The following table provides the fair value and the undiscounted amount of the true-up payment obligation at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013:

	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, 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 September 30, 2014:
			Notional			Fixed	Variable	Trade	Settlement	Maturity

	An unrealized loss of $8.7 million was recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income related to the valuation of these swaps at September 30, 2014, and the related asset and liability are being reflected in the accompanying unaudited consolidated statements of financial condition.
	At September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, interest rate swaps not designated as hedging instruments that were offered to clients represented an asset of $2.5 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 September 30, 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 $2.5 million and $2.9 million, respectively, and were included as part of derivative liabilities in the unaudited consolidated statements of financial condition.

	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 September 30, 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 $5.8 million (notional amount of $12.0 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 $5.6 million (notional amount of $11.6 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, and therefore, they are marked to market through earnings. The outstanding total notional amount of interest rate caps was $110.0 million at September 30, 2014 and $94.0 million at December 31, 2013. At September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the interest rate caps sold to clients represented a liability of $224 thousand and $319 thousand, respectively, and were included as part of derivative liabilities in the unaudited consolidated statements of financial condition. At September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the interest rate caps purchased as mirror-images represented an asset of $224 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 July 1st, 2014 the Governor signed Act No. 77-2014, known as “Ley de Ajustes al Sistema Contributivo” (Act of Adjustments to the Tax System). 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 transactions held after June 30, 2014 are as follows: (1) the capital tax rate was increased from 15% to 20% and (2) for an asset to be considered long term capital asset, the holding period must be over a year, which before was defined with a holding period of over six months.
	Other provisions applicable to tax years commencing after December 31, 2013 is the additional tax on gross income (“patente nacional”) is defined as a separate tax, rather than a component of the Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT) for non-financial institutions and, therefore is not longer accounted for under the provisions of ASC 740. For financial institutions, the additional tax on gross income remained mostly unaltered at a tax rate of 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 September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company's net deferred tax asset amounted to $121.2 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 September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013. The amount of the deferred tax asset that is considered realizable could be reduced in the near term if estimates of future taxable income during the carryforward period are reduced.
	At September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, Oriental International Bank Inc. (“OIB”), the Bank's international banking entity subsidiary, had $198 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 September 30, 2014 and 2013, $11 thousand and $36 thousand, respectively, related to this residual tax effect from OIB was reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income into income tax provision. During the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, $158 thousand and $126 thousand, respectively, related to the residual effect from OIB was reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income to 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 September 30, 2014 was $2.6 million (December 31, 2013 - $4.0 million). The Company had accrued $430 thousand at September 30, 2014 (December 31, 2013 - $1.2 million) for the payment of interest and penalties relating to unrecognized tax benefits. Also, during this quarter the Company recorded a reversal of an income tax contingency of $1.0 million as a result of reviewing the positions of certain unrecognized tax benefits at the Bank.
	Income tax expense was $8.0 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2014, compared to $6.6 million for the same period in 2013. Effective July 1, 2014, capital gains tax rate was increased from 15% to 20% as explained above.

	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 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 September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company and the Bank met all capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject. As of September 30, 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 tables presented below.
	The Company's and the Bank's actual capital amounts and ratios as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 are as follows

	Additional Paid-in Capital
	Additional paid-in capital represents contributed capital in excess of par value of common and preferred stock net of the costs of issuance. As of September 30, 2014, accumulated issuance costs charged against additional paid in capital amounted to $10.1 million and $13.6 million for preferred and common stock, 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 $23.2 million of authority remains.

During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2014, the Company purchased 707,500 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 nine-month period ended September 30, 2014, excluding the months of March, April, May, June, July and September of 2014, during which no shares were purchased as part of the stock repurchase program:

	NOTE 17 – GUARANTEES
	At September 30, 2014, the unamortized balance of the obligations undertaken in issuing the guarantees under standby letters of credit represented a liability of $37.1 million (December 31, 2013 - $38.6 million).
	As a result of the BBVAPR Acquisition, the Company assumed a liability for residential mortgage loans sold subject to credit recourse, pursuant to FNMA's residential mortgage loan sales and securitization programs. At September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the unpaid principal balance of residential mortgage loans sold subject to credit recourse was $98.4 million and $122.3 million, respectively.
	The following table shows the changes in the Company's liability for estimated losses from these credit recourse agreements, included in the unaudited consolidated statements of financial condition during the quarters and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2014 and 2013.
		Quarter Ended September 30,					Nine-Month Period Ended September 30,

	Balance at end of period	$	1,078	$	2,460	$	1,078	$	2,460
	The estimated losses to be absorbed under the credit recourse arrangements were recorded as a liability when the credit recourse was 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 September 30, 2014, $68.4 million or 70% of the recourse obligation will be extinguished during the next two years.
	If a borrower defaults, 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 is equivalent to the total outstanding balance of the residential mortgage loans serviced with recourse and interest, if applicable. During the quarter and nine-month period ended September 30, 2014, the Company repurchased approximately $1.9 million and $5.6 million of unpaid principal balance in mortgage loans subject to the credit recourse provisions. If a borrower defaults, the Company has rights to the underlying collateral securing the mortgage loan. The Company suffers losses on these mortgage loans when the proceeds from a foreclosure sale of the collateral property are less than the outstanding principal balance of the loan, any uncollected interest advanced, and the costs of holding and disposing the related property. At September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company's liability for estimated credit losses related to loans sold with credit recourse amounted to $1.1 million (December 31, 2013 – $2.0 million).
	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 and nine-month period ended September 30, 2014 under the Company's representation and warranty arrangements, excluding mortgage loans subject to credit recourse provisions referred to above, approximated $4.1 million and $9.2 million, respectively, in unpaid principal balance. A substantial amount of these loans are reinstated to performing status or have mortgage insurance, and thus the ultimate losses on the loans are not deemed significant.
	During the quarter and nine-month period ended September 30, 2014, the Company recognized $115 thousand and $261 thousand in losses from the repurchase of residential mortgage loans sold subject to credit recourse, and $979 thousand and $1.9 million in losses from the repurchase of residential mortgage loans as a result of breaches of the customary representations and warranties. During the quarter and nine-month period ended September 30, 2013, the Company did not recognized any losses from the repurchase of residential mortgage loans sold subject to credit recourse, but for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2013, recognized $477 thousand in losses from the repurchase of residential mortgage loans as a result of breaches of the customary representations and warranties.
	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 the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“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 September 30, 2014, the Company serviced $1.2 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 September 30, 2014, the outstanding balance of funds advanced by the Company under such mortgage loan servicing agreements was approximately $319 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	'
	NOTE 18 — 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.
	Credit-related financial instruments at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 were as follows:
		September 30,		December 31,
		2014		2013
		(In thousands)
	Commitments to extend credit	$	476,523	$	520,269
	Commercial letters of credit		1,193		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 September 30, 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 September 30, 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 September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, is as follows:
		September 30,		December 31,
		2014		2013
		(In thousands)
	Standby letters of credit and financial guarantees	$	37,145	$	38,577
	Loans sold with recourse		98,433		122,291
	Commitments to sell or securitize mortgage loans		34,650		80,307
	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 September 30, 2014 and 2013 amounted to $2.4 million and $2.5 million, respectively, and is included in the “occupancy and equipment” caption in the unaudited consolidated statements of operations. For the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, rent expense amounted to $7.3 million and $7.7 million, respectively. Future rental commitments under leases in effect at September 30, 2014, exclusive of taxes, insurance, and maintenance expenses payable by the Company, are summarized as follows:
	Year Ending December 31,	Minimum Rent
		(In thousands)
	2014 (October 1 to December 31)	$	2,221
	2015		8,026

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 Disclosures [Abstract]	'
Fair Value	'
	NOTE 19 - 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. Such securities are classified as level 1 or level 2 depending on the basis for determining fair value. 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, and such securities are classified as level 3. At December 31, 2013, the Company held two securities categorized as other debt that are classified as Level 3. At September 30, 2014, the Company did not have securities classified as Level 3. The estimated fair value of the other debt securities was 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.
	Securities purchased under agreements to resell
	The fair value of securities purchased under agreements to resell 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.
	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
	Other repossessed assets
	Other repossessed assets include repossessed automobile loans and leases. The fair value of the repossessed automobiles may be determined using internal valuation and an external appraisal. These repossessed 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 September 30, 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 September 30, 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 purchased but not yet received, and 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 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 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.
• The fair value of long-term borrowings, which include securities sold under agreements to repurchase, advances from FHLB-NY, 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.

	NOTE 20 – 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 for the quarters and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2014 and 2013:

	Recent Accounting Developments
	In August 2014, the Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB”) issued a new going concern standard, which requires management to assess at each interim and annual reporting period whether substantial doubt exists about the company's ability to continue as a going concern. Substantial doubt exists if it is probable (the same threshold that is used for contingencies) that the company will be unable to meet its obligations as they become due within one year after the date the financial statements are issued or available to be issued (assessment date). Management needs to consider known (and reasonably knowable) events and conditions at the assessment date. For all entities, this standard is effective for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, with earlier adoption permitted. The adoption of this standard will have no material impact on our financial position or results of operations.
	In August 2014, FASB issued new guidance requiring creditors to classify certain foreclosed, government-guaranteed, mortgage loans as receivables. The receivable is measured at the amount expected to be recovered under the guarantee, which is not treated as a separate unit of account. For public business entities, this guidance is effective for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2014, with earlier adoption permitted if the entity already has adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-04. An entity should adopt the amendments in this update using either a prospective transition method or a modified retrospective transition method. We are currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of this guidance will have on our financial position and results of operations.
	Other than the accounting pronouncements disclosed above, there was no other new accounting pronouncement issued during the third quarter of 2014 that could have a material impact on the Company's financial position, operating results or financials statement disclosures.
