FITCH: Banesco USA's Outlook Remains StableFitch Ratings has affirmed Banesco USA's long-term rating with Stable Outlook despite Venezuelan government's 90-day intervention to Banesco Banco Universal. "Fitch views Banesco USA structure as an independent entity with no direct linkage to the Venezuelan bank as a rating positive and that more tangible risks to the bank's capital and equity are mitigated by ring fencing by banking regulators in the U.S." (www.fitchratings.com/site/pr/10030333) "We are glad that FITCH recognizes that Banesco USA is not affected by worsening economic conditions in Venezuela and that they see core profitability to continue ona positive trajectory. Our management team has been committed for more than a decade to providing exceptional service to our growing number of satisfied customers and will keep doing so," said Banesco USA's President and CEO Jorge Salas.
