In terms of investing activities, UCBI invested $181.3 million during the quarter, primarily in debt securities and loans. The bank's financing activities resulted in a net outflow of $140.6 million, largely due to net decreases in short-term borrowings and the repayment of FHLB advances.
Overall, UCBI's financial performance in the first quarter of 2023 showcases its strong position in the market and its dedication to delivering value to its customers and shareholders alike.
