Net interest income rose 3%, helped by increased interest rates and growth in loans and deposits. The top line, however, came in slightly below the forecast.

We have recorded eighteen consecutive quarters of positive operating leverage while consistently making significant investments in the franchise,” said CFO Paul Donofrio.
