Standard & Poor’s credit rating agency raises S-Bank’s credit rating to A- and rates its outlook as stable
International credit rating agency Standard & Poor’s has raised S-Bank Plc’ long-term issuer credit rating from “BBB+” to “A-“ and affirm its short-term rating at A-2. S&P rated the outlook as stable.
The credit rating and the stable outlook reflect S&P’s expectation that the successful issuance of senior non-preferred instruments demonstrates S-Bank's sound market access and allows it to maintain so called ALAC-buffer for years to come. Further, according to S&P’s assessment, the acquisition of Handelsbanken’s retail business strengthened S-Bank’s market position and should support the bank’s earnings capacity.
