GBI maintains its A3 rating by Moody's Investors Service

We are pleased to announce that Moody's Investors Service confirmed GBI's Long term Bank Deposits rating of A3 on 25 January 2008*. This rating reflects GBI's role as a niche player in the competitive segment of international trade finance and private banking, its strong financial fundamentals and asset quality, historically low credit losses, a reliable funding profile and solid profitability, whilst also taking into consideration GBI's exposure to emerging markets, particularly the risk of the Turkish market.

A3 rating represents the highest investment grade level so far a bank with a Turkish shareholder has ever received. We are proud of having set a new benchmark among our peers in our niche market. With this rating upgrade, in terms of risk level, GBI takes its place next to various well-established European banks. This also confirms the success of GBI's sustainable growth and diversification strategy. Our success is built on to focus on a client-driven approach in providing products and services in a cost-effective way, to maintain a strong financial discipline and a fortress balance sheet, to secure a robust system of internal governance and controls, to operate with the highest standards of integrity and to be open and honest with ourselves, our colleagues, our shareholders and our communities.

We are confident that, working together with our clients and bank partners, we are building a world-class financial institution that delivers excellence in its core businesses. We are determined to set higher goals and continuously increase the standards in the years to come.

Er zal ook wel meespelen dat één van de grootste aandeelhouders het Amerikaanse General Electric (Consumer Finance) is.
GE is een van de allergrootste concerns ter wereld, met vertakkingen in allerlei sectoren.
Dat geeft vertrouwen voor de klanten van de Garantibank

En daardoor gaan de rentetarieven omlaag.

Banken vinden dat ze minder spaarrente hoeven geven als hun rating goed is.

Maar goed, klanten die op de hoogte zijn van de collectieve garantieregeling laten zich daar niet door leiden.


Garantibank is trouwens een goede middenmoter. Niet heel hoog maar ook niet laag.
Ik ben er al 8 jaar klant zag ik trouwens net...........
