Weiss Ratings Guide to Banks is divided into three sections, preceded by an introductory section and followed by a thorough Appendix. Weiss’ complete letter-grade rubric is detailed on the inside front cover—an easily accessible reference for users researching companies in this guide.

Section I is an Index of Banks. This section contains Financial Strength Ratings, Key Rating Factors, and summarized financial data for all U.S. federally-insured commercial banks, savings banks, and savings & loans. Companies are sorted in alphabetical order, first by company name, then by city and state.

Section II contains a Recommended Company List. This is a list of companies receiving a Financial Strength Rating of A+, A, A-, or B+. Recommended institutions are listed in the state in which they currently operate one or more branches, and then organized alphabetically by city.

Section III is a list of Rating Upgrades and Downgrades that identifies those institutions receiving a rating change since the previous edition, whether it be a rating upgrade, rating downgrade, newly rated company, or the withdrawal of a rating.

The guide ends with an Appendix containing three sections: a list of Recent Bank Failures, a detailed chart called “How Do Banks and Credit Unions Differ?”, and a Glossary containing the most important terms used throughout the publication.
