Postbank has received yet another key recognition for the efficiency of its business activities after the international rating agency Moody’s Ratings (“Moody’s”) upgraded the institution’s long-term and short-term deposit ratings to Baa2/P-2, respectively. The outlook for the long-term deposit rating remains positive. At the same time, the rating agency upgraded the long-term Counterparty Risk Ratings (CRR) to Baa1. The updated rating assessment by the agency, which is one of the three largest in the world, confirms Postbank’s ability to maintain strong financial performance and successfully adapt to dynamic market conditions.
Moody’s report highlights Postbank’s stable capitalization, strong recurring profitability, and growing deposit base.
“This international recognition is of key importance to us as it is proof of our hard work and the result of the bank’s sustainable development. It reflects the trust our clients and partners place in us and further supports our strategic goals for stable growth. Our main focus remains on innovation, providing an excellent customer experience, and delivering exceptional added value, which continues to cement our leadership position as one of the leading financial institutions in the country,” commented Postbank.
At the end of 2023, Postbank reported a Common Equity Tier 1 capital ratio of 19.0%, with a net income to tangible assets of 1.7% for the year and client deposits, which dominate its funding base, representing 81% of total assets, according to Moody’s report. Looking ahead, the rating agency expresses its expectations that Postbank’s solvency and liquidity profile will remain stable.
