    Creditreform Rating has set the bank rating of DZ BANK AG Deutsche Zentral-Genossenschaftsbank to AA-. The outlook is stable. The rating is based on the good profitability and the risk-averse business policy. The DZ BANK AG Deutsche Zentral-Genossenschaftsbank holds a strong market position in Germany. Due the cooperative group structure with its affiliated cooperative credit banks (Volks- und Raiffeisenbanken) the Allfinanz institute is one of the leading major banks in Germany. On the other hand, the average equity ratio and the increasing operating costs due to the merger with the WGZ Bank have an adverse effect on the rating.
