Course description

Bank compliance is fascinating!  Every single rule we follow can be traced back to a good reason for doing it.  Not only is it crucial to understand “what” you must do in your job, but having a clear grasp of the “why” helps you do it better.

There is no other area in your financial institution quite like compliance.  It is a smorgasbord of seemingly random but interconnected requirements that drive everyone’s job – from the teller to the CEO.  Compliance is the great equalizer!  The daily decisions of a teller can be just as important as the lending decisions made by the Executive Vice President.

Join this webinar to learn:

Wow!  That’s a lot!  It may seem overwhelming, but many rules and regulations share common themes.  This webinar won’t dig too deeply into each rule, but rather will provide a summary to help you see the full picture.  All of it harmonizes together into one symphony, and every bank employee brings an instrument to the stage.  

Gaining this overview of the Big Compliance Show will allow you to be a better employee, team member, and well-rounded banker.  Foster collaboration and communication within your organization, and maybe even see where your interests lie for future career development! 

All information will be presented from the perspective and real-life experience of a veteran compliance pro (25+ years!) who (like you, perhaps) is curious by nature and simply wondered why things are what they are!
