OFG Bancorp (OFG) operates as a diversified financial holding company primarily serving Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands through its principal subsidiaries: Oriental Bank, Oriental Financial Services, and Oriental Insurance. The company generates revenue through three core segments: Banking, which earns net interest income from commercial, consumer, auto, and mortgage lending; Wealth Management, which provides investment brokerage, trust, and insurance services; and Treasury, which manages the company's investment portfolio and liquidity.

Its primary direct competitors include Popular, Inc. (BPOP), First Bancorp (FBP), and Ameris Bancorp (ABCB), with OFG maintaining the second or third largest market share in Puerto Rico’s retail and commercial banking sectors. Founded in 1964, the company is currently led by José Rafael Fernández, who serves as President, CEO, and Chairman of the Board; he joined the firm in 1991 and has been CEO since 2004, making him the longest-serving chief executive among Puerto Rico's publicly traded banks. Supporting him is Maritza Arizmendi, who has served as Chief Financial Officer since 2006 and brings a background as a Certified Public Accountant and attorney. Other key executives include Mari Evelyn Rodriguez, Chief Retail Banking Officer, and Ada García Castello, Managing Director of Customer Intelligence and Operations, who oversees the firm's digital transformation.
