The company said that the revenue has increased due to the strong growth in asset-based fees and higher net interest income, partly offset by decreased brokerage transaction revenue.
Noninterest expense during the quarter, grew by US$162 million, or 7% to US$2.619 billion, compared to US$2.457 billion during the year ago quarter, while provision for credit losses decreased by US$68 million from the year ago period to US$38 million.
