Structure

Bauer Financial provides depositor-focused ratings of banks and credit unions in the United States. The company's rating scale runs from zero to five stars, the strongest institution being granted five-star ratings.[5] Unlike other rating agencies such as Standard & Poor's or Moody's, Bauer Financial rates the strength of a bank or credit union as a whole rather than analyzing investment or asset quality.[5]
