We are proud to share that Moody's Investors Service ("Moody's") has assigned first-time A1/Prime-1 deposit ratings to First American Trust, FSB, along with a few other notable ratings.
"First American Trust's ratings are based on Moody's view that the bank is a highly integrated entity within the First American Financial family. This results in a standalone credit profile, as reflected in the a3 BCA, that is derived from the title insurer, First American Title Insurance Company. As a regulated bank with a deposit-centered liability structure, First American Trust's deposit and issuer ratings are then derived from the application of Moody's advanced Loss Given Failure (LGF) analysis, a key component of its Banks rating methodology."
