Banking professionals deal with numerous responsibilities and regulatory compliance in a highly competitive industry. Their mission is your success, the Bank’s success and their own professional success and advancement. With so much on the line, a banker needs to embody a broad range of qualities.

1) The attributes that make up a “good banker” are led, first and formost, by personal integrity

2) Hot on the heels is the ability to exercise good judgment, encompassing knowledge, intelligence, and depth of experience

3) A good tactician can structure transactions and effectively negotiate

4) Highly developed communication skills are critical to communicate clearly and professionally

5) An open personality and enthusiasm for the work contribute to success exponentially

6) The best also see a world beyond their immediate sphere, and commit to outside causes that are important to them

Team building is a challenge across all industries, and banking is truly a collaborative effort. Strong team players set high expectations for their own work, and are not afraid to seek help from others. Great team players recognize the gratification that collaboration brings, committing to the collective effort.

When an organization finds a core team of people with these capabilities, there are few limits to what can be accomplished. With these attributes in mind, we are continuing to build and enhance our RBAZ team of bankers to support your success, our success and our community.
