- (1888PressRelease) May 09, 2013 - Miami, FL, USA -- Sabadell United Bank (https://www.sabadellbank.com) today announced it has received the coveted five-star rating by BauerFinancial Inc, a distinction awarded to only 17 percent of the banking institutions in Florida. This is the bank's third consecutive time receiving this high ranking.
BauerFinancial's ratings are based on upon an analysis of current financial reports that are filed with federal regulators four times a year. The data is thoroughly analyzed and compared to past data provided by Sabadell. The bank is required to maintain a capital ratio of at least 4%, a tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of at least 4% and a total risk-based capital ratio of at least 8%.
Sabadell United Bank reported a net income of $5.8 million for the last quarter ending on December 31, 2012.
Sabadell United Bank's fourth-quarter Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio was 17.58 percent and its Tier 1 to average assets ratio was 10.39 percent, well above the FDIC standards for a well-capitalized bank of six and five percent, respectively. Additionally, Sabadell United Bank's profits have increased 12 percent to $6.5 million in quarter one of 2013.
"This recognition is a testament to what a strong banking institution with sound management is capable of achieving," said President and CEO Mario Trueba said. "It's gratifying to once again receive such high rankings because it underscores our commitment to always be there for our clients."
