In Brief: Bank One Deal Gets Triple-A from Moody's

Moody's Investors Service Inc. assigned a Triple-A rating to the senior class A certificates issued in Bank One's 1996-A autodeal.

Moody's also assigned a rating of Single-A2 to the subordinate class B certificates issued in the deal. A total of $537.5 million in securities is affected.

Moody's said the ratings are "based on the quality of the underlying loans, the strength of the structure, the 4% reserve fund, the 4.5% subordination of the class B certificates, and the experience of Bank One, Texas as servicer."
