In early March, following the failure of Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank, Moody’s Investors Service announced their plans to review UMB’s rating, along with several other banks.

Today Moody’s announced that UMB Financial Corporation’s credit rating changed to Baa1. This is a high-quality investment grade rating, above U.S. median, and among the highest globally. Moody’s has also retained our stable ratings outlook for the year.
