BREAKING INTO BANKING: 101 FUNDAMENTALS OF COMMERCIAL LENDING
The ABA, in partnership with other bank associations around the country, is proud to offer our members this exciting training opportunity! Participants will learn how to assess and analyze a bank’s financial performance by working with data from real institutions…and much more! In the final session of this course, participants will put what they have learned into practice. Participants will analyze a new data set, rate the bank’s performance and suggest strategic adjustments that might benefit the bank..
Commercial banking can be intimidating because of its complexity and the risk-oriented nature of the work. This virtual course is a clear and thorough introduction to the key concepts, terminology, and processes involved in credit and lending. It doesn’t assume much prior knowledge of the topic, so it’s ideal for those in their first year in the industry. Learners will walk away with a clear understanding of their job and how their specific role fits into the bank’s overall profitability goals.
