Nature of Operations and Summary of Significanrt Accounting Policies
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, Oriental Pension Consultants, Inc. (“OPC”), formerly known as Caribbean Pension Consultants, Inc.. 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 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 January 2015, the Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB”) issued a standard that simplifies income statement presentation by eliminating the concept of extraordinary items from U.S. GAAP. However, the new guidance does not affect current presentation and disclosure requirements for material events or transactions that are unusual in nature or infrequent in occurrence. Companies also will continue to evaluate whether items are unusual in nature or infrequent in occurrence when estimating the annual effective tax rate for interim reporting purposes. For all entities, this standard is effective for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015, with earlier adoption permitted. The adoption of this standard will have no material impact on our financial position or results of operations.
	Other than the accounting pronouncement disclosed above, there was no other new accounting pronouncement issued during the first quarter of 2015 that could have a material impact on the Company's financial position, operating results or financials statement disclosures.

	Cash pledged as collateral to other financial institutions to secure:
	Securities sold under agreements to repurchase	$	7,000	$	-

	Obligations under agreement of loans sold with recourse		5,426		5,427
		$	15,406	$	8,407
	At March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, OIB and Oriental Overseas, each, held unencumbered certificates of deposit in the amount of $300 thousand as the legal reserve required for international banking entities under Puerto Rico law. Each certificate of deposit cannot be withdrawn by OIB or Oriental Overseas without prior written approval of the Office of the Commissioner of Financial Institutions (“OCFI”).
	The Company delivers cash as collateral to meet margin calls for some long term securities sold under agreements to repurchase. At March 31, 2015, the Company had cash pledged as collateral for securities sold under agreements to repurchase amounting to $7.0 million. At December 31, 2014, there was no cash pledged as collateral.
	As part of its derivative activities, the Company has entered into collateral agreements with certain financial counterparties. At both March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company had delivered $3.0 million of cash as collateral for such derivatives activities.
	As part of the BBVA 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, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company delivered as collateral cash amounting to $5.4 million.
	The Company's bank subsidiary, Oriental Bank, is required by Puerto Rico law to maintain average weekly reserve balances to cover government demand deposits. The amount of those minimum average reserve balances for the week that covered March 31, 2015 was $149.3 million (December 31, 2014 - $141.5 million). As of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Bank complied with the requirement. Cash and due from bank as well as other short-term, highly liquid securities are used to cover the required average reserve balances.

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 first quarter of 2015 and 2014, the Company sold $26.8 million and $24.0 million, respectively, 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.

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 investments ($202.2 million, amortized cost, or 91%) with an unrealized loss position at March 31, 2015 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 ($21.0 million, amortized cost, or 9%) with an unrealized loss position at March 31, 2015 consist of obligations issued or guaranteed by the government of Puerto Rico and its political subdivisions or instrumentalities. The 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, the negative rating decisions taken by the credit rating agencies have affected the market value and liquidity of these securities.
As of March 31, 2015, 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 a 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 a cumulative default probability at maturity in the range of 4.930% to 30.733%, thus reflecting that it is more likely than not that the bonds will not default at all during their remaining terms (range between 69.267% and 95.07%). 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 March 31, 2015.

Loans Receivable [Abstract]
LOANS RECEIVABLE	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).
	The composition of the Company's loan portfolio at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 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, 2015 and December 31, 2014 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.

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 March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, 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 status when they become 18 months or more past due, since they are insured loans.
During the quarter ended March 31, 2015, the revolving line of credit to PREPA was classified as non-accrual. At March 31, 2015, this line of credit had an unpaid principal balance of $200.0 million.
At March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, loans whose terms have been extended and which are classified as troubled-debt restructurings that are not included in non-accrual loans amounted to $87.6 million and $274.4 million, respectively, as they are performing under their new terms.
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 $244.1 million and $236.9 million at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. Impaired commercial loans at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 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 $25.7 million and $841 thousand at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. The total investment in impaired mortgage loans was $88.8 million and $94.2 million at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, 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 $8.4 million and $9.0 million at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively.

Credit Quality Indicators
The Company categorizes non-covered originated commercial loans and acquired commercial 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, and 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 March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, 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 at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014.
At March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company had outstanding credit facilities of approximately $593.3 million and $619.0 million, respectively, granted to the Puerto Rico government, including its instrumentalities, public corporations and municipalities. A substantial portion of our credit exposure with 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 central government. The Company also has 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.
The Public Corporation Debt Enforcement and Recovery Act (the “Recovery Act”) enacted in 2014 established procedures for the adjustment of debts of certain public corporations owned by the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico. As Puerto Rico governmental instrumentalities, the prevailing view is that such public corporations, including, for example, PREPA, are not currently eligible for federal bankruptcy relief under any chapter of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. The Recovery Act states in its preamble that it further promotes the government's public policy of no longer providing financial support to such public corporations and promoting their economic independence. As a result of the enactment of the Recovery Act, the three principal rating agencies further downgraded to below investment grade most of Puerto Rico's debt obligations. However, in February 2015, the United States District Court for the District of Puerto Rico held that the Recovery Act is pre-empted by the U.S Bankruptcy Code and is therefore void pursuant to the Supremacy Clause of the United States Constitution. It further held that the Commonwealth is permanently enjoined from enforcing the Recovery Act. The Commonwealth has since appealed the District Court's decision. The Commonwealth's ability to restructure the debts of some of its public corporations, such as PREPA, remains uncertain, and a broad disorderly restructuring is possible.
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 December 31, 2014. We, as part of the bank syndicate, agreed in August 2014 to extend our credit facilities 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 of Directors. PREPA also committed to deliver a full debt-restructuring plan by March 2, 2015, which it failed to deliver. 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, which included a financial model to project the future liquidity status of PREPA under various scenarios and its capacity to service its financial obligations, and concluded that the PREPA had sufficient cash flows for the repayment of the line of credit. Despite the Company's analysis showing PREPA's capacity to repay the line of credit, the Company placed its participation in non-accrual and recorded a $24 million provision during the first quarter of 2015 as a result of PREPA's reluctance to commit to the full repayment of the line of credit in ongoing negotiations.
For residential and consumer loan classes, the Company evaluates credit quality based on the delinquency status of the loan. As of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, 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:

	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.

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.

FDIC Indemnification Asset and True-up Payment Obligation	3 Months Ended

Banking and Thrift [Abstract]
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 ended March 31, 2015 and 2014:
		Quarter Ended March 31,
		2015		2014
	FDIC indemnification asset:
	Balance at beginning of period	$	97,378	$	189,240
	Shared-loss agreements reimbursements from the FDIC		-17,172		-8,236
	Increase (decrease) in expected credit losses to be covered under shared-loss agreements, net		1,597		40
	FDIC indemnification asset expense		-12,221		-17,622
	Incurred expenses to be reimbursed under shared-loss agreements		5,639		2,772
	Balance at end of period	$	75,221	$	166,194
	True-up payment obligation:
	Balance at beginning of period	$	21,981	$	18,510
	Change in true-up payment obligation		863		865
	Balance at end of period	$	22,844	$	19,375
	The FDIC shared- loss expense bears an inverse relationship with a change in the yield of covered loan 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. During the fourth quarter of 2014, the FDIC and the Company agreed to a methodology for the determination of the fair value of covered assets. This change resulted in higher claims to the FDIC from the previously expected. As a result, lower amortization of the indemnification asset was required during the first quarter of 2015 compared to 2014.
	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.
	Shared-loss agreements reimbursements from the FDIC for the quarter ended March 31, 2015, include $16.7 million corresponding to the fourth quarter of 2014 loss-share certification that was received during April 2015. This was also recorded as an account receivable from the FDIC and included in other assets in the unaudited consolidated financial statements.
	The FDIC indemnification asset expense of $12.2 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2015 decreased when compared to $17.6 million for the same quarter in 2014. These changes were partially driven by a reduction of $1.9 million in additional amortization of the FDIC indemnification asset from stepped up cost recoveries on certain construction, commercial, and leasing pools, which amounted to $1.6 million and $3.5 million for the quarters ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The reduction of the expense was also affected by an increase in expected collections from the FDIC during the first quarter of 2015 when compared to the first quarter of 2014. Change in expected collections from FDIC results 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 covered loans. Despite an increase in the first quarter of 2015, forecasted losses have shown a decreasing trend over the course of the indemnification period. The net reduction in claimable losses amortizes the FDIC indemnification asset through the shorter of the life of the shared loss agreements or the loan holding period. This amortization is net of accretion of the discount recorded to reflect the expected claimable loss at its net present value. Additional amortization of the FDIC indemnification asset may be recorded, should the Company continue to experience reduced expected losses. A significant portion of the FDIC indemnification asset, approximately $52.2 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 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 $22.8 million and $22.0 million, net of discount, as of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, 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 quarters ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 the fair value of the true-up payment obligation increased by $863 thousand and $865 thousand, respectively. These changes in fair value are included as change in true-up payment obligation within FDIC shared-loss expense, net in the consolidated statements of operations.
	The following table provides the fair value and the undiscounted amount of the true-up payment obligation at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014:
		March 31,		December 31,
		2015		2014

TransfersAndServicingAbstract
TransfersAndServicingOfFinancialAssetsTextBlock	NOTE 7 - SERVICING ASSETS
	The Company periodically sells or securitizes mortgage loans while retaining the obligation to perform the servicing of such loans. In addition, the Company may purchase or assume the right to service mortgage loans originated by others. Whenever the Company undertakes an obligation to service a loan, management assesses whether a servicing asset and/or liability should be recognized. A servicing asset is recognized whenever the compensation for servicing is expected to more than adequately compensate the Company for servicing the loans and leases. Likewise, a servicing liability would be recognized in the event that servicing fees to be received are not expected to adequately compensate the Company for its expected cost.
	All separately recognized servicing assets are recognized at fair value using the fair value measurement method. Under the fair value measurement method, the Company measures servicing rights at fair value at each reporting date, reports changes in fair value of servicing assets in earnings in the period in which the changes occur, and includes these changes, if any, with mortgage banking activities in the consolidated statements of operations. The fair value of servicing rights is subject to fluctuations as a result of changes in estimated and actual prepayment speeds and default rates and losses.
	The fair value of servicing rights 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.
	At March 31, 2015, the servicing asset amounted to $12.2 million ($14.0 million — December 31, 2014) related to mortgage loans servicing rights.
	At March 31, 2015, the Company has entered into an agreement to sell mortgage servicing rights. During the quarter ended March 31, 2015, the Company recognized a loss of $1.9 million related to this transaction, which is included as other non-interest (loss) income in the unaudited consolidated statements of operations.
	The following table presents the changes in servicing rights measured using the fair value method for the quarters ended March 31, 2015 and 2014:
			Quarter Ended March 31,
			2015		2014
			(In thousands)
	Fair value at beginning of year	$	13,992		$	13,801
	Servicing from mortgage securitizations or asset transfers		531			563
	Changes due to payments on loans		-418			-196
	Changes in fair value due to changes in valuation model inputs or assumptions		-59			-198
	Changes in fair value due to sales price of mortgage servicing rights held-for-sale		-1,882			-
	Fair value at end of year	$	12,164		$	13,970
	The following table presents key economic assumption ranges used in measuring the mortgage-related servicing asset fair value for the quarters ended March 31, 2015 and 2014:
		Quarter Ended March 31,
		2015		2014
	Constant prepayment rate	4.51% - 11.39%		5.60% - 10.08%
	Discount rate	10.00% - 12.00%		10.00% - 12.00%
	The sensitivity of the current fair value of servicing assets to immediate 10 percent and 20 percent adverse changes in the above key assumptions were as follows:
		31-Mar-15
		(In thousands)
	Mortgage-related servicing asset
	Carrying value of mortgage servicing asset	$	12,164
	Constant prepayment rate
	Decrease in fair value due to 10% adverse change	$	-406
	Decrease in fair value due to 20% adverse change	$	-792
	Discount rate
	Decrease in fair value due to 10% adverse change	$	-639
	Decrease in fair value due to 20% adverse change	$	-1,226
	These sensitivities are hypothetical and should be used with caution. As the figures indicate, changes in fair value based on a 10 percent variation in assumptions generally cannot be extrapolated because the relationship of the change in assumption to the change in fair value may not be linear. Also, in this table, the effect of a variation in a particular assumption on the fair value of the retained interest is calculated without changing any other assumption.
	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.
	Servicing fee income is based on a contractual percentage of the outstanding principal balance and is recorded as income when earned. Servicing fees on mortgage loans for the quarters ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 totaled $1.8 million and $1.7 million, respectively.

	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 the 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, 2015:
			Notional			Fixed	Variable	Trade	Settlement	Maturity

	An unrealized loss of $8.5 million and $8.6 million was recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income related to the valuation of these swaps at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively, and the related liability is being reflected in the accompanying unaudited consolidated statements of financial condition.
	For both March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, interest rate swaps not designated as hedging instruments that were offered to clients represented an asset of $2.4 million, 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, 2015 and December 31, 2014, interest rate swaps not designated as hedging instruments that are the mirror-images of the derivatives offered to clients represented a liability of $2.4 million for both periods, 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, 2015:

	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, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the purchased options used to manage exposure to the S&P 500 Index on stock indexed deposits represented an asset of $3.7 million (notional amount of $8.2 million) and $5.6 million (notional amount of $10.7 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 $3.6 million (notional amount of $7.9 million) and $5.5 million (notional amount of $10.5 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. For both March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the outstanding total notional amount of interest rate caps was $110.0 million. At March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the interest rate caps sold to clients represented a liability of $97 thousand and $152 thousand, respectively, and were included as part of derivative liabilities in the unaudited consolidated statements of financial condition. At March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the interest rate caps purchased as mirror-images represented an asset of $97 thousand and $152 thousand, respectively, and were included as part of derivative assets in the unaudited consolidated statements of financial condition.

Income Taxes	NOTE 14 — 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 or the Act). 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 gain tax rate was increased from 15% to 20% and (2) for an asset to be considered a long term capital asset, the holding period must be over a year, whereas before it was defined as a holding period of over six months.
	At March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company's net deferred tax asset amounted to $121.9 million and $108.7 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 deferred tax asset, net of the existing valuation allowances recorded at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014. 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 March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, Oriental International Bank Inc. (“OIB”), the Bank's international banking entity subsidiary, had $176 thousand and $186 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, 2015 and 2014, $10 thousand and $137 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, 2015 and December 31, 2014 was $2.6 million. The Company had accrued $470 thousand at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 for the payment of interest and penalties relating to unrecognized tax benefits.
	Income tax expense was $979 thousand for the quarter ended March 31, 2015, compared to $11.8 million for the same period in 2014. Effective July 1, 2014, the capital gains tax rate was increased from 15% to 20% as explained above.

Regulatory Capital Requirements Abstract
Regulatory Capital Requirements Under Banking Regulations Text Block	NOTE 15 — REGULATORY CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS
	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, 2015 for the Company and the Bank (subject to certain phase-in periods through January 1, 2019) and that replaced their general risk-based capital rules, advanced approaches rule, market risk rule, and leverage rules. Among other matters, the new capital rules: (i) introduce a new capital measure called “Common Equity Tier 1” (“CET1”) and related regulatory capital ratio of CET1 to risk-weighted assets; (ii) specify that Tier 1 capital consists of CET1 and “Additional Tier 1 capital” instruments meeting certain revised requirements; (iii) mandate that most deductions/adjustments to regulatory capital measures be made to CET1 and not to the other components of capital; and (iv) expand the scope of the deductions from and adjustments to capital as compared to prior regulations. The new capital rules prescribe a new standardized approach for risk weightings that expand the risk-weighting categories from the current four Basel I-derived categories (0%, 20%, 50% and 100%) to a larger and more risk-sensitive number of categories, depending on the nature of the assets, and resulting in higher risk weights for a variety of asset classes.
	Pursuant to the new capital rules, the minimum capital ratios requirements as of January 1, 2015 are as follows:
	4.5% CET1 to risk-weighted assets;
	6.0% Tier 1 capital (that is, CET1 plus Additional Tier 1 capital) to risk-weighted assets;
	8.0% Total capital (that is, Tier 1 capital plus Tier 2 capital) to risk-weighted assets; and
	4.0% Tier 1 capital to average consolidated assets as reported on consolidated financial statements (known as the “leverage ratio”).
	As of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company and the Bank met all capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject. As of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Bank is “well capitalized” under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as “well capitalized,” an institution must maintain minimum CET1 risk-based, Tier 1 risk-based, total 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 March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 are as follows:

Stockholders' Equity [Abstract]
Stockholders' equity	NOTE 16 – STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY
	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 March 31, 2015 and December 31, 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.
	Legal Surplus
	The Puerto Rico Banking Act requires that a minimum of 10% of the Bank's net income or loss for the year be transferred to a reserve fund until such fund (legal surplus) equals the total paid in capital on common and preferred stock. At March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Bank's legal surplus amounted to $70.1 million and $70.5 million, respectively. The amount transferred to the legal surplus account is not available for the payment of dividends to shareholders.
	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 $16.7 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 the quarter ended March 31, 2015.
	The number of shares that may yet be purchased under the $70 million program is estimated at 1,020,607 and was calculated by dividing the remaining balance of $16.7 million by $16.32 (closing price of the Company common stock at March 31, 2015). The Company did not purchase any shares of its common stock during the quarter ended March 31, 2015, or during the quarter ended March 31, 2014, other than through its publicly announced stock repurchase program
	The activity in connection with common shares held in treasury by the Company for the quarters ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 is set forth below:

Guarantees [Abstract]
Guarantees [Text Block]	NOTE 19 – GUARANTEES
	At March 31, 2015, the unamortized balance of the obligations undertaken in issuing the guarantees under standby letters of credit represented a liability of $28.7 million (December 31, 2014 - $33.0 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 March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the unpaid principal balance of residential mortgage loans sold subject to credit recourse was $59.4 million and $67.8 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 ended March 31, 2015 and 2014.
		Quarter Ended March 31,
		2015		2014
		(In thousands)
	Balance at beginning of period	$	927	$	1,955
	Net charge-offs/terminations		-440		-406
	Balance at end of period	$	487	$	1,549
	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 March 31, 2015, $42.7 million or 72% of the recourse obligation will be extinguished before the end of 2015.
	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 quarters ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company repurchased approximately $2.1 million and $1.6 million, respectively, 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 March 31, 2015, the Company's liability for estimated credit losses related to loans sold with credit recourse amounted to $487 thousand (December 31, 2014 – $927 thousand).
	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 quarters ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 under the Company's representation and warranty arrangements, excluding mortgage loans subject to credit recourse provisions referred to above, approximated $9.0 million and $2.8 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 ended March 31, 2015, the Company recognized $39 thousand in losses from the repurchase of residential mortgage loans sold subject to credit recourse, and $832 thousand in losses from the repurchase of residential mortgage loans as a result of breaches of the customary representations and warranties. 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 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 March 31, 2015, 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 March 31, 2015, the outstanding balance of funds advanced by the Company under such mortgage loan servicing agreements was approximately $380 thousand (December 31, 2014 - $391 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 20— 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 March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 were as follows:
		March 31,		December 31,
		2015		2014
		(In thousands)
	Commitments to extend credit	$	497,669	$	493,248
	Commercial letters of credit		1,284		885
	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, 2015 and December 31, 2014, 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 $621 thousand for both periods, March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014.
	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, 2015 and December 31, 2014, is as follows:
		March 31,		December 31,
		2015		2014
		(In thousands)
	Standby letters of credit and financial guarantees	$	28,677	$	32,970
	Performance letters of credit and financial guarantees		707		-
	Loans sold with recourse		59,445		67,803
	Commitments to sell or securitize mortgage loans		54,887		10,207
	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, 2015 and 2014 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. Future rental commitments under leases in effect at March 31, 2015, exclusive of taxes, insurance, and maintenance expenses payable by the Company, are summarized as follows:
		Minimum Rent
	Year Ending December 31,	(In thousands)
	2015	$	7,007

	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 21 - 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 March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company did not have investment securities classified as Level 3.
	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.
	Impaired Loans.
	Impaired loans are carried at the present value of expected future cash flows using the loan's existing rate in a discounted cash flow calculation, or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral-dependent. Expected cash flows are based on internal inputs reflecting expected default rates on contractual cash flows. This method of estimating fair value does not incorporate the exit-price concept of fair value described in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820-10 and would generally result in a higher value than the exit-price approach. For loans measured using the estimated fair value of collateral less costs to sell, fair value is generally determined 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 less disposition costs. 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.

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, 2015 and December 31, 2014 is as follows:
	March 31,						December 31,

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair values of significant financial instruments at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014:
•       Cash and cash equivalents (including money market investments and time deposits with other banks) and restricted cash 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 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 held-for-sale is based on the terms of the sales agreement with the third party. The fair value of the remaining servicing asset 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, other borrowings, 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.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]
Segment Reporting	NOTE 22 – 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 OPC. 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 retirement 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.
	The classification of certain assets was revised to more accurately depict the nature of the underlying segments. This reclassification resulted in a reduction in banking segment total assets of approximately $752.0 million, with a corresponding increase in treasury segment total assets of $492.6 million and a decrease in total assets eliminations of $259.4 million in March 31, 2014. The Company evaluated the impact of this reclassification on the total assets allocated to these segments and determined that the effect of this adjustment was not material to any previously reported results.
	Following are the results of operations and the selected financial information by operating segment for the quarters ended March 31, 2015 and 2014:

New Accounting Pronouncements Policy [Policy Text Block]	Recent Accounting Developments
	In January 2015, the Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB”) issued a standard that simplifies income statement presentation by eliminating the concept of extraordinary items from U.S. GAAP. However, the new guidance does not affect current presentation and disclosure requirements for material events or transactions that are unusual in nature or infrequent in occurrence. Companies also will continue to evaluate whether items are unusual in nature or infrequent in occurrence when estimating the annual effective tax rate for interim reporting purposes. For all entities, this standard is effective for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015, with earlier adoption permitted. The adoption of this standard will have no material impact on our financial position or results of operations.
	Other than the accounting pronouncement disclosed above, there was no other new accounting pronouncement issued during the first quarter of 2015 that could have a material impact on the Company's financial position, operating results or financials statement disclosures.
