Fitch Ratings assigned CrediaBank a long-term issuer rating of BB with a positive outlook, noting that its deposit ratings were placed at BB+. 

The assessment follows a balance sheet cleanup and capital strengthening efforts. Fitch indicated that the acquisition of HSBC Malta is expected to be a “pivotal factor” for the bank’s medium-term credit profile by increasing scale, strengthening geographic diversification, and improving the funding and liquidity profile.
