ABOUT US You are here: Home >> About Us
BauerFinancial, Inc. has been analyzing and reporting on the
financial condition of the nation’s banking industry since 1983. With our help,
countless depositors successfully navigated their way through the savings and
loan crisis of the ’80s when others lost billions of dollars in uninsured
deposits. Through the years BauerFinancial has earned the reputation of “the nation’s bank rating service”.
Hundreds of newspapers depend on our ratings for their readers and federal and
state regulators refer thousands of inquirers to us each year.
How do we do it? Each bank and credit
union is required to file a detailed financial report with federal regulators
four times a year. BauerFinancial obtains this data in its raw form from the government. The quarterly data is
subjected to a thorough analysis and is compared with historical data for
consistency. Upon completion of the analysis, a star-rating is assigned based
on a scale of zero to five stars with five stars being the strongest.
BauerFinancial is the source for unbiased, independent bank and credit union
star-ratings. No institution pays for its rating, nor can they elude it. But
that’s not all we do. BauerFinancial is also your source for the nation’s highest CD and Jumbo CD
rates offered by some of the strongest banks in the country. Consumer CD rates
can be found at www.cdratewatch.com while institutional investors should visit www.jumboratenews.com. Buy a CD at the
banks listed or use the rates as a bargaining tool where you already bank. Like
the star-ratings, the CD rates listed on these pages are available completely
free of charge.
