  • Total loan growth of 4% year-over-year was at the low end of the company's targeted range this year. Card sales were higher by 4% Y/Y, or 6% if excluding the impact of lower gasoline prices (though the leap year in Q1 added 1%). Organic student loans were up 15%, and personal loans grew 9%.
  • As for funding, deposits were higher by 6% from last quarter, and made up 45% of funding at quarter's end.
  • Addressing possible credit deterioration due to the energy crash, management says there has been some in energy-related states.
