Bankers’ Bank of the West

Learning Library 

What you should expect to find here:

In recent years, we have been actively listening, taking notes, and asking questions to understand our customers' needs regarding ongoing education and communication in the unique world of community banking. Our findings indicate that training in system applications, discussions on fraud prevention and management, and updates on competitive products and new system implementations are valuable starting points.

Therefore, we have gathered our expert staff and partners to deliver educational presentations aimed at connecting our extensive network of community banks for enhanced learning, communication, and collaboration, going beyond the correspondent services we offer.

Our creations are inspired by insights gained from conferences and personal meetings with customers, reflecting your advice, concerns, or requests. If there's a topic you'd like to see covered that isn't currently in our library, we welcome your input. Please email your suggestions to training@bbwest.com.
