The rating upgrade to BBB+ reflects the new methodological update by Fitch Ratings in the evaluation of bank ratings.
Trento, 13.05.2026 – Fitch Ratings (Fitch) has announced an upgrade of Cassa Centrale Banca's ratings, as specified below:
| Debt rated | Rating | Outlook |
| Long-Term Issuer Default Rating / Senior preferred debt | BBB+ | Stable |
| Long-Term Deposits | A- | Stable |
The upgrade, shortly after the last uplift in December 2025, follows the methodology update used by the agency for assigning bank ratings.
The agency's assessment is based on the Group already fulfilling its MREL requirement exclusively with CET1 with the expectation that the level of capitalization will remain structurally high.
