‘What most consumers, job seekers and students don’t realize is that banking opportunities are much more than what they see at a branch. One of the best selling points for banking as a career are the many different career paths that exist. Banks don’t just need lenders and customer service reps — we need marketers, IT gurus, credit analysts, financial professionals, investment advisors, cybersecurity experts, HR professionals, compliance practitioners and risk management whizzes, and so much more. Bankers can expect to face big, existential questions about how we work, which new tools we can use to help us work smarter, not harder, and how we continue to keep relationship banking alive in an increasingly digitized world. Banking is a noble profession — it offers the opportunity to truly be a part of the local community and to give back, whether by providing access to the credit that powers local economies, boosting financial literacy or providing philanthropic support.’
