Regular training is to be organized in the fields of Customer Relationship Management, Credit Risk Managements. Product knowledge, Soft-skills and AML/CFT. Some of these workshops may be organized internally and through ABC Academy to reduce on costs.

I joined ABC banking in 04/01/16 as Relationship Manager and after 6 months was posted as Credit Manager in the Credit Underwriting Team. Shortly afterwards I was promoted to the post of Senior RM and then as Team Leader with main responsibilities of ensuring operational excellence and helping in Business Development for the Bank. During the past 8 years I have always been replacing the Head when she was on leaves and have never had any issues in running the business. As and when required, I have been attending the Executive Credit Committee and Board Credit Committee for presentation of Corporate Credit files and have proved to be up to the standards. If I am given the opportunity, my priority will be to transform the department into a high performing team with the following actions to be taken to ensure that Staff remains focus on growing their business effectively and efficiently. The key success factors of the department shall be responsiveness and exceptional service. The whole operation should be separated into assets and liabilities. All FCY transactions should be taken by treasury departments. FI loans and Cross Border corporate financing to be tagged either with Treasury teams or International Business. This will help the staff to be more accustomed in other Jurisdictions. A dedicated team to look after all trade finance business and Bank guarantees. Assets to be categorised into 3 different clusters viz: Leasing, SME & MME and Corporate with specific staff assigned to each cluster to develop the cluster in terms of volume and Profitability in line with the agreed budget of the Bank. Liability will be managed by a max. of two staff members. The responsible relationship Managers should be assisted by a support staff and analyst. Support staff to deal in all operational issues and Analyst to build up the notes and follow up on renewals, excesses and arrears.
