Fitch ups Co-operative Bank

Fitch Ratings said it upgraded the Co-operative Bank plc's long-term issuer default rating to B from B- and removed it from Rating Watch negative.

Fitch also affirmed the bank's viability rating at b- and short-term IDR at B.

The outlook on the long-term IDR is negative.

“The upgrade of the IDR reflects Fitch's view that the issuance by the Co-operative Bank's holding company parent, the Co-operative Bank Finance plc, of £200 million of senior debt in November 2020, provides an additional layer of protection to the bank's senior creditors in the case of failure of the bank,” Fitch said in a news release.
