A.M. Best at Gaylord Palms Event March 17

    A.M. Best Co. will be exhibiting at the Independent Community Bankers of America National Convention and Techworld, March 17-21 at the Gaylord Palms Resort & Convention Center in Kissimmee. Representatives will be available to discuss A.M. Best’s interactive credit ratings for U.S. banks.
    A.M. Best is offering financial strength, issuer credit and debt security ratings to community banks and bank holding companies. Ratings are based on an assessment of a bank’s strategy and competitive position beyond just its reported financial results, and the rating process focuses on a bank’s operation through various stages of the industry cycle. Visitors to Best’s Banking Center, www.ambest.com/banks, can search for banks based on select financial criteria and can view A.M. Best’s Rating Methodology for Banks, Best’s Bank Statement Reports, which contain key balance sheet data, and Best’s Bank Ratio Reports, featuring operating statistics and financial ratios.
   The Center also offers access to data, news and special reports on the banking industry.
