Ocean Bank announced today net income of $11.6 million for the first quarter ended March 31, a 13% increase from the fourth quarter of 2021, and total assets of $5.4 billion, a $100 million increase during the quarter.

Agostinho Alfonso Macedo, CEO, chairman and president of Ocean Bank, attributed the results to continued strong lending which resulted in net interest income of $40.6 million during the quarter.

The Bank’s 10.30% Tier 1 Leverage ratio is more than double the 5.00% threshold required to be a “well-capitalized” bank.
