WILMINGTON, Del., Oct. 06, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Moody’s Investors Service assigned first time ratings to WSFS Financial Corporation (NASDAQ: WSFS) (“WSFS” or “the Company”) with an issuer rating of Baa2 with a Positive Outlook. Long-and short-term deposits of A2/Prime-1, together with a standalone Baseline Credit Assessment of Baa1. Moody’s has also assigned Counterparty Risk Assessment of A3(cr)/Prime-2 and Counterpart Risk Ratings (local and foreign currency) of Baa1/Prime-2. Moody’s debt ratings for WSFS can be accessed here.

“WSFS has grown both organically and through combinations in recent years, including the successful integrations of Beneficial Bank and Bryn Mawr Trust, and given our larger size and scale, it was appropriate to add Moody’s as a Debt Rating Agency. We believe this strong rating recognizes our diversified business model, solid asset quality performance, sound underwriting, and healthy returns. We also expect the Moody’s rating will support new fee opportunities for our Wealth and Trust segment,” said WSFS’ Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, Dominic C. Canuso.
