Kroll Bond Rating Agency (KBRA) recently released enhanced website features for our Subscription Rating Service (SRS) product. KBRA's SRS product is an impartial and innovative leader in providing financial strength ratings. SRS uses a subscription-based business model, which results in independent, unbiased financial strength ratings published quarterly. Our financial strength ratings are used by finance, risk and treasury professionals to monitor the credit worthiness and financial soundness of institutions with whom they do business. Our record speaks for itself: Of the 92 banks and S&Ls that failed in 2011, 88 held the lowest "E" rating from SRS as of January 1, 2011. Similarly, of the 155 banks and S&Ls that failed in 2010, 146 were rated "E" at the start of the year.

The new and intuitive user interface allows subscribers to access the financial strength ratings and research faster and more easily than ever before – putting all the information needed at the users’ fingertips, including:

  • Enhancements to charting and visualization capabilities
  • Faster and more intuitive portfolio creation
  • Improved Tear Sheet design
