Can anyone tell me how to check a Bank's rating?

There are several sites that do this. Perhaps the best is bankrate.com. Go there and look for the box with the words:

IS YOUR BANK SAFE?

Safe & Sound ratings

Many banks are struggling in this tough economy.
Is yours safe?

Check your bank's

star rating.

“Can anyone tell me how to check a Bank’s rating?”

Wny don’t you skip the banks and look at credit unions instead? Better run, customer owned, and less rife with the scum that is trying to pick your pocket for a bailout.

The CUNA website has a credit union finder utility, and the NCUA website has a financial statistics utility you can use to compare credit unions.
