Front-Line Retail Banking Certification
New for 2025 - Front-Line Retail Banking Certification Opportunity
The program handouts and Zoom link will be furnished to attendees several days ahead of the program.
Event Details
This two-day certification program focuses on the essentials for today’s Retail Banker in providing exceptional service, problem solving, making referrals, and building profitable relationships. The program is packed full of checklists, job aids, examples, and real-world situations. Attendees who complete the program will receive a Certificate of Completion.
With significantly reduced in-branch transactions and customer visits and rapidly progressing technology, Front-Line Retail Team Members must transform the way they meet client needs and deliver service excellence. Today’s lean branch and customer service center staffing models require that all team members are more knowledgeable, client-focused, flexible, efficient, and proactive than ever. Retail team members must be prepared to both serve the traditional client who visits the branch for transactional needs and the modern client who only contacts a banker when they need help addressing complex needs, such as fraud resolution. To grow and prosper the bank, Retail Bankers must have the skills and acumen to move beyond order-taking to problem solving, advising, and proactively developing loyal client relationships.
Length of Program: 2 Days - February 4, 2025 & March 26, 2025
(Participants register once and will be automatically added to March 26th date for second session)
