Our debt ratings for both long-term senior debt and bank deposits remained relatively strong, and we grew our CET1 ratio 150 basis points throughout the year to 9.9% as of Dec. 31, 2023 – above what it was shortly before U.S. Bancorp closed on the acquisition of Union Bank.
2023 tested the financial services industry with a heightened regulatory environment and increased focus on capital levels, and the stress banks felt was compounded by pressures in the broader economy. Despite the challenges around us and this “new normal,” we achieved solid results – thanks in large part to our strong foundation and financial discipline.
