Die Euler Hermes Rating GmbH bewertet die Bonität 
und Zukunftsfähigkeit der GEFA BANK GmbH, Wuppertal, weiterhin mit 
A-. Für die kommenden zwölf Monate erwartet die Ratingagentur eine 
stabile Entwicklung des Ratings.
   Ausschlaggebend für das Rating der GEFA BANK GmbH sind aus Sicht 
der Agentur die sehr gute Kapitalstruktur und Risikotragfähigkeit, 
die gute Marktposition als Objekt- und Absatzfinanzierer in 
Deutschland, das gute Risikomanagement sowie die hohe Branchen- und 
Objektkompetenz als Voraussetzung für die fundierte Bewertung von 
Risiken und Sicherheiten. Positiv wirkt sich nach Einschätzung der 
Analysten zudem die Refinanzierungsmöglichkeit und der externe 
Einfluss durch die Muttergesellschaft Société Générale S. A. auf das 
Rating aus.
