CIT Bank holds a Baa2 (LT- local currency) credit rating from Moody's Investors Service. This rating comes with a stable outlook, which was recently revised by the agency.
Understanding CIT Bank's Credit Rating from Moody's
Moody's Investors Service has affirmed CIT Bank's long-term local currency credit rating at "Baa2." This specific rating signifies that, in Moody's assessment, the bank's obligations are subject to moderate credit risk. The "Baa" category generally indicates investment-grade quality, though it is the lowest tier within this classification, suggesting some speculative characteristics may be present.
The stable outlook indicates that Moody's expects the bank's creditworthiness to remain consistent over the near to medium term, with no immediate expectation for an upgrade or downgrade. This revised outlook to stable from a prior different outlook (though not specified in the reference, the revision itself is notable) suggests a positive shift in Moody's perspective on the bank's financial health and stability.
Here's a summary of the key rating details:
| Rating Agency | Entity | Credit Rating | Outlook |
|---|---|---|---|
| Moody's Investors Service | CIT Bank | Baa2 (LT- local currency) | Stable |

This affirmation and stable outlook reflect Moody's current assessment of CIT Bank's financial strength, its ability to meet its financial obligations, and the overall stability of its operations within the financial landscape.
