Having earned BauerFinancial’s highest 5-Star rating for strength and stability, Rockville Bank has once again proven its commitment to superiority – for the 22nd consecutive quarter. To earn Bauer’s 5-Star Superior rating, Rockville Bank must excel in areas of capital adequacy, delinquent loan levels and profitability to name just a few.
