September 2010: United Citizens Bank & Trust, Campbellsburg, Kentucky has once again earned the highest rating for strength and stability from BauerFinancial, Inc., Coral Gables, Florida, the nation's bank rating firm. Earning Bauer's coveted 5-Star Superior rating indicates that United Citizens Bank & Trust is one of the strongest banks in the country excelling in such areas as capital adequacy, deliquent loan levels and profitability. In fact, United Citizens Bank & Trust has earned this top rating for the past 69 consecutive quarters. Only 10% of the nation's banks can claim that distinction.
“There has been a lot of debate recently about how much capital banks should have on hand,” explains Karen L. Dorway, president of BauerFinancial. “That has never been a question here at Bauer. A sizeable capital cushion can make all the difference in an economic crisis. In fact, we consider it so important that in order to earn a 5-Star rating from Bauer, United Citizens Bank & Trust's capital ratios are at least twice what federal regulators require. With twenty-seven years to back us up, Bauer has always believed that capital is king.”
