Net interest income stood at $7.2bn, flat compared to a year ago, reflecting spread compression offset by higher deposit and loan balances and a reduction in the reserve for uncollectible interest and fees.
Noninterest expense was $6.24bn, a fall of 1.07% compared to $6.30bn in the prior year, due to lower mortgage banking expense.
The unit’s provision for credit losses was $389m, down 56.8% as against $902m in the corresponding quarter of 2014, driven by a larger reduction in the allowance for loan losses and lower net charge-offs.
