Kroll Bond Rating Agency (KBRA) issues ratings through its Subscription Rating Service that are based on key financial ratios, based primarily upon information obtained from periodic regulatory filings . This allows analysts to identify changes in ratings more quickly compared to other rating agencies, providing early warnings for clients.
KBRA provides independent ratings of over 17,000 entities. The institutions that we rate do not pay us to rate them. Revenues are derived primarily through subscription agreements for the variety of SRS Products available. Thus clients can be assured of unbiased ratings from KBRA.
The strong analytical approach used at KBRA along with our analysts accounting for regulatory and economic changes affecting the banking industry as a whole result in unbiased, highly accurate financial strength ratings.
Our clients and the rated organization are able to directly communicate with our analysts to discuss a particular institution's rating.
KBRA analysts are trained to perform analysis based on key financial criteria to rate financial institutions and corporations. Two or more analysts review every rating action before issuance. See our Rating Scale
