Certain restrictions apply. Subject to credit approval. The interest rate and APR are determined based on credit score and other terms established by FirstBank. Loans of up to $50,000. Offer only for residents of Puerto Rico. 1The 5.99% rate only applies to customers with a credit score of 800+ on loans over $25,000 with a term of up to 60 months and includes a 0.50% discount for opening a checking account and enrolling in Direct Payment from that account. Loan approval is not contingent upon opening a checking account. Example: a $30,000 loan at 5.99% APR for 60 months results in a monthly payment of $579.84. Valid through December 31, 2025. Offer applies only to Puerto Rico residents. Offer does not apply to collateral-backed loans.  2Same day decision applies to applications that have the complete information to be evaluated and that are received Monday to Friday from 8:30 am to 4:00 pm and Saturday from 8:30 am to 12:00 pm; same-day disbursement is subject to branch hours and the customer complying with the documents required by FirstBank. 3A maximum of up to 90% of the funds available in the savings account or certificate of deposit is granted; while the loan is active, the funds in the savings account or certificate of deposit will not be available for withdrawal. The term of the loan shall not exceed the term of the certificate until the loan has been repaid in full. 4Insurance products are not bank deposits, are not insured by the FDIC nor any federal government agency, are not guaranteed by First Bank, and may diminish in value. Acquiring this insurance is optional and not a condition for credit approval. Credit approval will not be conditioned to the purchase of an insurance or annuity from the Institution or one of its affiliates nor to your agreement to refrain, or our prohibition, from obtaining insurance products or annuities from non-affiliated institutions. We will not reject your selected insurance if it meets our requirements and standards regarding coverage, financial soundness, and insurer-provided services. For more information, call 787-282-1108. 5You can receive a discount of 0.50% APR of the approved interest by opening a new checking account with FirstBank and enrolling in the direct payment service with that account. If the applicant has an existing checking account and uses the direct payment service with it, they will receive a 0.25% APR discount on the approved interest. The loan approval is not conditioned to opening a checking account. 6Loan term will depend on the loan amount.
