Despite these challenges, we are pleased to announce that the USCB team delivered strong performance in the first quarter of 2023, reflecting our ability to navigate this challenging operating environment with prudent consistency. Our financial results demonstrate robust earnings, driven by strong loan production, and disciplined credit underwriting and risk management practices,” said Luis de la Aguilera, President and Chief Executive Officer. “Our strength and stability are reinforced by our growing core customer relationships, which have enabled us to build a granular deposit base and diversified loan portfolio, in one of the most vibrant markets in the United States.” Mr. de la Aguilera went on to say, “Our deposits are derived primarily from our local customers and communities. We do not have any material exposure to either crypto currencies or investments or to crypto-related business.”
