Prime Rated

The best creditworthiness value of a bank's client issuing COMMERCIAL PAPER (short term promissory notes).  The creditworthiness is determined by the bank based on certain standards involving the value of the issuer and the timeliness of that issuer payment record.

If the issuer is a bank, then the rating of the commercial paper is based on the same principals, but the rating is conducted by an independent agency specializing in rating banks, such as Standard and Poor's.
