“This fifth consecutive strong debt rating reflects the continued success of our disciplined model, melding community banking with diversified local and national fee-based financial solutions that create deeper relationships with our Customers,” said WSFS’ Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer Dominic C. Canuso. “This rating also reaffirms the strengths of our balance sheet, capital and diversified business model that position us well as the largest locally headquartered bank in the Greater Philadelphia and Delaware region, and as the economy continues to reopen.”KBRA also noted the ratings are supported by WSFS’ sizable and stable fee base derived from its diversified business segments, particularly wealth management, which KBRA views as a key differentiator among its peers and the primary driver of the company’s high ratings profile. Also supporting the ratings is the company’s favorable core funding profile and reasonably strong market positioning. WSFS’ seasoned management team, generally long tenured, has deep ties to the market and has exhibited its ability to execute upon strategic initiatives as demonstrated by incremental improvement in core operating profitability.About WSFS Financial CorporationWSFS Financial Corporation is a multi-billion-dollar financial services company.
