NWB Bank AAA/Aaa-ratings reaffirmed by both S&P Global Ratings and Moody’s Ratings

Both S&P Global Ratings and Moody’s Ratings have reaffirmed our AAA/A-1+ and Aaa/P-1 credit rating with a stable outlook. Both credit opinions can be found on our website.

These highest possible credit ratings underscore the bank’s solid risk profile. The ratings reflect our strong capital position, resilient liquidity, and commitment to a sustainable funding strategy. The reconfirmation of the AAA/Aaa ratings highlights international credit agencies’ confidence in the bank’s continuity and stability.

On November 17^th, Moody’s published an update to its ‘Banks Ratings Methodology.’ This revised approach better accounts for the strong and diversified access to the capital markets underlying the business model of the bank when assessing the stability of the funding. As a result, the reaffirmed ‘Aaa’ rating with a stable outlook on December 3^rd  reflects the application of this new methodology.

S&P Global Ratings has done a credit review and reaffirmed our ‘AAA’ rating with a stable outlook  on November 20^th.

Tiemo Wesseling, Head of Treasury: ‘I’m proud that the leading credit rating agencies recognize the strength of our bank and that the investors can keep relying on us as being part of a small AAA/Aaa rated SSA issuer community.’
