S&P rates Syndicate Bank BBB-, A-3

Standard & Poor's said it assigned its BBB- long-term and A-3 short-term counterparty credit ratings to Syndicate Bank.

The outlook is stable.

At the same time, S&P said it assigned its C bank fundamental strength rating on Syndicate Bank.

"The ratings reflect Syndicate Bank's average business profile and adequate profitability and its satisfactory funding and liquidity profile," said S&P credit analyst Ivy Tan.

"A constraining factor is Syndicate Bank's below average asset quality, contributed mostly from its retail portfolio. With 36.5% of its loans acquired between April 2006 and September 2007, the bank is exposed to the risk of rising nonperforming loans as they become seasoned."
