- NTB's wealth management services continue to expand, providing tailored solutions across multiple jurisdictions, including Bermuda, the Cayman Islands, and the Channel Islands.
- The net interest margin decreased modestly to 2.64% from 2.7% in the prior quarter, primarily due to lower treasury yields.
