KBRA’s December 2025 ratings action on Customers Bancorp and its bank subsidiary affirmed multiple debt and deposit ratings while revising the long-term outlook to Positive from Stable. Our earlier article highlighted that the combination of unchanged rating levels and a more constructive outlook can signal improving longer-term credit conditions—an important context for understanding how rating assessments influence issuers’ access to funding markets.
