SNL Financial’s New Early Entry Process Provides the Industry’s Fastest Access to Earnings Data for Top US Banks

Charlottesville, VA (Vocus) April 14, 2010 -- SNL Financial (http://www.snl.com/) today launched its new early entry process, providing SNL clients with bank earnings data sooner than any other information provider.

Within one hour of a bank's earnings release, SNL will have approximately 90 fields of financial data available via its online information service. This expedited process will be available for the top 40 public banks by asset size and will include fields such as Tangible Book Value, Tier 1 Capital, NPAs/Assets and Net Interest Margin.

“Saving time during earnings season is of paramount importance to our clients,” said JP O’Sullivan, Associate Director of Financial Services at SNL. “SNL’s quick delivery of earnings data alleviates the hassle of manual entry, allowing clients to conduct analyses within an hour of release, often before the earnings conference call itself.”

This data is available as part of the SNL Information Service. To find out more, contact sales(at)snl(dot)com or 866.296.3743.
