We are pleased to announce the Universal Banker Certification Program. With reduced in-branch 
transactions and customer visits and rapidly progressing technology, traditional retail banking functions are becoming obsolete. No longer can a front-line team member say: “It’s not my job!”

The front-line banking team is shifting from traditional positions (tellers, new account 
representatives, financial service representatives, etc.) to a multi-tasking, "universal" banker role. Today’s bank customer base is shifting from the traditional, visit the bank twice a week model to a quick response, electronic banking based relationship model.

This two-day certification program focuses on the essentials for today’s Universal Banker in 
providing exceptional service, making referrals, and building profitable relationships. The program is packaged full of checklists, job aids, examples, and "real world situations. Attendees will receive a Certificate of Completion.
