Summary
RG Financial Corp's chief assets and sources of income are its commercial loans (which mainly consist of commercial real estate loans and construction loans), consumer loans (which mainly consist of auto loans, personal loans and credit card loans), and residential mortgage loans. RG Financial offers banking services through a network of 66 branches (2005) between two of its subsidiaries, the largest being RG Premier Bank in Puerto Rico and the second being RG Crown Bank in the Orlando, Tampa and St. Petersburg cities of Florida.
In an effort to compete with larger banks within Puerto Rico and Florida, RG Financial has acquired various banking and lending institutions in order to expand to new markets and improve its services in existing ones. On June 29, 1993, it acquired Caribbean Federal Savings Bank of Puerto Rico,[3] followed by the Fajardo Federal Savings Bank[4] on August 5, 1998, then Continental Capital Corp.[5] on October 7, 1999, and finally Crown Group, Inc.[6] on June 7, 2002. Additionally, RG Financial acquired various other assets and rights from other financial companies, such as 18 bank branches from Wachovia Corporation in 2004, and mortgage servicing rights from Banco Santander in 1998.
By 2004, the company had over $10.20 billion in assets[7] and approximately 2,404 employees.
