Training on Banks and Banking Operations

About the Course

Banks perform a myriad of functions, including deposits and withdrawals, currency exchange, forex trading, and wealth management. Also, they act as a link between depositors and borrowers, and they use the funds deposited by their customers to provide credit facilities to people who want to borrow.

Banking operations refer to all processes and activities that are performed to ensure effective, safe and appropriate customer transactions. Within banks, thousands of people handle the closing and fulfillment of loans, the processing of payments, and the resolution of customer disputes.

Training on Banks and Banking Operations gives an understanding of these operations and the wide variety of activities undertaken and services provided by banks, how they operate and are regulated, and explains why banks are so important and how their activities impact on modern life, people, business, government and the economy.
