Our diversified business model, strong capital position, mix of deposits, access to funding sources, and continued focus on financial and credit risk management allow us to support our customers throughout economic cycles.
“Looking ahead, we continue to move forward on our risk and control agenda, which is our top priority. While we have made progress, our work is not done, and we remain focused on completing the work in a timely fashion. At the same time, we are executing on our other strategic objectives, including developing improved products and services to better serve our customers, investing in our communities, and generating appropriate risk-adjusted returns.”
