NORD/LB Norddeutsche Landesbank has been assigned a long-term "A" rating by rating agency DBRS. The "A" rating applies to both NORD/LB as an issuer and to its issued long-term unsecured bonds (senior debt). DBRS also assigned an “A” rating to NORD/LB’s deposits. In the rating scale used by DBRS, this score equates to "A2" from Moody‘s and "A" from Fitch. The short-term rating issued by DBRS was "R-1 (low)". All ratings have a positive outlook.

DBRS is a rating agency headquartered in Toronto which operates worldwide. It was established in 1976 as Dominion Bond Rating Service and is now the fourth-largest rating agency in the world.

In obtaining this new rating, NORD/LB follows the request of many investors providing credit ratings for its securities from a third rating agency. To date, NORD/LB has contracted ratings from the agencies Moody's (deposit rating: "Baa2") and Fitch Ratings ("A–"). NORD/LB has been working with DBRS for some time. DBRS awards a rating for NORD/LB's New York-based subsidiary Hannover Funding and has also assigned non-published ratings for NORD/LB Group in this context for many years.
