    Allegations in proposed class action concerning Jeffrey Epstein

    A proposed class action filed in federal court alleges that FirstBank and First BanCorp knowingly provided banking services that facilitated or benefited Jeffrey Epstein’s sex-trafficking venture. The companies deny the allegations and have sought dismissal. A court certified a proposed class in October 2026; that procedural decision does not establish the truth of the allegations or the bank’s liability.
