Starion Bank receives highest rating from BauerFinancial

Starion Bank has received a five star “superior” rating from BauerFinancial, the nation’s leading independent bank and credit union rating firm.

BauerFinancial has been reporting on and analyzing the performance of U.S. banks and credit unions since 1983. Star ratings are assigned on a scale of zero-to-five stars, with five being the strongest, and are based on the overall financial picture of the financial institution. The ratings are independent, meaning no institution is able to pay to be rated or excluded.

“We are proud to repeatedly receive Bauer’s top rating,” says Craig Larson, CEO at Starion Bank. “This recognition is possible thanks to the commitment Starion employees make to providing exceptional service to each and every customer. That dedication makes Starion a great place to bank and to work.”
