History Of FirstBank Puerto Rico

FirstBank Puerto Rico, originally established as First Federal Savings Bank on January 17, 1949, has undergone several significant changes throughout its history. In the early years, the institution focused on providing savings and loan services. In 1981, it expanded by acquiring Pan American Federal Savings and Loan Association of Puerto Rico. Over the next few decades, FirstBank underwent a series of name changes, becoming FirstBank of Puerto Rico in 1994. This was also the year it transitioned to being regulated by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) and changed its chartering agency to state oversight. The bank continued to grow through acquisitions, including First Virgin Islands Federal Savings Bank in September 2000 and FirstBank Florida in July 2009. In February 2014, it rebranded as FirstBank Puerto Rico. The bank further expanded its operations by acquiring Virgin Islands Community Bank in January 2008 and Banco Santander Puerto Rico in September 2020. Its main office has relocated multiple times, with the most recent move to 1519 Avenue Ponce De Leon in Santurce, Puerto Rico, occurring in November 2001.
