30 November 2011 - Standard and P rating statement

Rabobank retains its position as the world's highest rated privately owned bank according to Standard & Poor's new methodology

Rating agency Standard & Poor's (S&P) today announced its new ratings for the top 37 global banks according to its new methodology. S&P has awarded Rabobank the highest rating of all these 37 banks: AA with a 'stable outlook'.

Rabobank previously held a AAA rating based on the former approach used by S&P. As is the case at Moody's, Fitch and DBRS, Rabobank remains the highest rated privately owned bank in the world according to S&P. Rabobank views S&P's new rating as a reconfirmation of its stability and strong creditworthiness.

I have been with RABO ever since I started Uni in Holland some 50 years ago. It was then,I think still called Boeren Leen Bank. Also my first mortgage. I hold them in the highest regard and still have an account with RABO NEDL.
