“For the sixth consecutive year, WSFS has received a strong debt rating reflecting our commitment to a diversified business model that leverages our strength as a community bank with national fee-based financial solutions to offer our Customers a full suite of products and services while providing deep local knowledge to meet their needs,” said WSFS’ Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer Dominic C. Canuso.

KBRA also noted the ratings are supported by WSFS’ sizable and stable fee base derived from diversified business segments, particularly wealth management, which KBRA views as a key differentiator and primary driver of the Company’s high ratings profile. Through strategically sound merger and acquisition transactions, WSFS has significantly expanded the scale of its operations, including its wealth management platform in recent years. KBRA added that the company also has a favorable core funding profile and strong market position, which will significantly increase after the close of the Bryn Mawr Trust Corporation transaction.
