Result drivers
Net interest income growth - Core Bank net interest income rose 7% yr/yr, driven by lower funding costs, redeployment of liquidity into higher-yielding loans and investments, and disciplined loan and deposit pricing
Credit loss provision - Provision for credit losses was a net credit, benefiting from a favorable shift in loan portfolio composition that reduced reserve requirements
Noninterest income - Noninterest income increased 8% yr/yr, mainly due to higher service charges on deposits and a favorable adjustment in interchange income
