BauerFinancial Recommends Company for 143rd Consecutive Quarter

Rating again puts Hancock Whitney among top 25% of U.S. banks

BauerFinancial, Inc., the nation’s leading bank rating and analysis firm, has once again recommended Hancock Whitney as one of the country’s strongest, safest financial institutions, now for the 143rd consecutive quarter. Based on the quarter ending March 31, 2025, this most recent recognition, combined with previous consecutive top ratings, further secures the company’s standing among the top 25% of all U.S. banks and credit unions.

Founded in 1983, BauerFinancial issues quarterly star-ratings on the overall soundness of U.S. banks and credit unions and has awarded Hancock Whitney top ratings for almost as long as the highly regarded Coral Gables, Florida, firm has been evaluating America’s financial institutions.

Using financial data reported to regulators each quarter, BauerFinancial applies a proprietary rating system similar to the CAMELS model regulators use to consider capital adequacy, asset quality, management quality, earnings, liquidity, and sensitivity to market risk. The firm’s quarterly bank ratings come out during the quarter following the rating period.

No institution can pay for or opt out of a BauerFinancial, Inc., rating. Consumers can review bank ratings free at www.bauerfinancial.com.
