The bank’s net interest margin expanded to 3.13% in Q1, up from 3.11% in the previous quarter, primarily due to lower deposit costs. The average cost of deposits decreased by 25 basis points to 2.82% in Q1 2025 from 3.07% in the prior quarter.

Customers Bancorp maintained strong capital levels, with a CET 1 ratio of 11.7% and total risk-based capital ratio of 14.6% at the end of the quarter.
