Opening New Accounts-Virtual Program

Whether because of the complexity or the lack of frequency, opening business accounts seems to create the most angst for many bankers. In this 3-1/2-hour seminar, participants gain confidence and a clear understanding of the regulatory, compliance, documentation, and state law requirements for opening business accounts. With 18+ years of experience, Matt Dickinson brings technical information to life with his engaging training style, real-life examples, and in-depth knowledge. Matt empowers bankers with the skills and tools to protect their organization while at the same time focusing on providing quality customer service. The training manual is customized to state law and is known as the technical reference handbook for new account departments across the country.
