  • Rating Action, Barclays Bank UK
    Rating Action: Moody's takes rating actions on Barclays, Lloyds, Santander UK, Nationwide and Close Brothers, following update to banks methodology 13 Jul 2021 London, 13 July 2021 -- Moody's Investors Service (Moody's) has today taken rating actions on Barclays, Lloyds, Santander UK and Close Brothers banking groups and on Nationwide Building Society, including the upgrade of the long-term senior ratings of Lloyds Banking Group plc and Close Brothers Group plc. The rating actions were driven by revisions to Moody's Advanced Loss Given Failure (Advanced LGF) framework, which is applied to banks operating in jurisdictions with Operational Resolution Regimes, following the publication of Moody's updated Banks Methodology on 9 July 2021. This methodology is available at this link: https://www.moodys.com/researchdocumentcontentpage.aspx?docid=PBC_1269625 . A full list of affected ratings and assessments can be found at the end of this Press Release. RATINGS RATIONALE Today's rating actions were driven by revisions to the Advanced Loss Given Failure framework within Moody's updated Banks Methodology: a revised notching guidance table, with thresholds at lower levels of subordination and volume in the liability structure have been applied to the UK banks and Additional Tier 1 (AT1) securities issued by banks domiciled in the UK have been included in the Advanced LGF framework, eliminating the previous analytical distinction between those high trigger instruments that were deemed to provide equity-like absorption of losses before the point of failure and other AT1 securities. Moody's removal of equity credit for high trigger Additional Tier 1 (AT1) instruments from banks' going concern capital means that affected banks have reduced capacity to absorb unexpected losses before the point of failure, everything else being equal.

  • High-Quality Service Is Key Differentiator for European Banks 2018 Greenwich Leaders: European Large Corporate Banking and Cash Management
    High-Quality Service is Key Differentiator for European Banks 2018 Greenwich Leaders: European Large Corporate Banking and Cash Management Q1 2018 After weathering the chaos of the financial crisis and the subsequent restructuring of the European banking industry, Europe’s largest companies are enjoying a welcome phase of stability in their banking relationships. Credit is abundant (at least for big companies with good credit ratings), service is good and getting better, and banks are getting easier to work with. Aside from European corporates, the primary beneficiaries of this new stability are the big banks that already count many of Europe’s largest companies as clients. At the top of that list sits BNP Paribas, which is used for corporate banking by 65% of Europe’s largest companies. HSBC is next at 56%, followed by Deutsche Bank at 43%, UniCredit at 38% and Citi at 37%. These banks are the 2018 Greenwich Share Leaders℠ in European Top-Tier Large Corporate Banking.
