Summary:

With turnover rates often at or near 100% per year, tellers are the most often trained members of the credit union staff. And the most expensive to be trained, too.

But the need to comply with the specific regulations with which tellers are involved has not declined. Quite the contrary. More and more, the tellers are responsible for compliance through their actions. Accordingly, it should be no surprise that more and more examiners are quizzing tellers to determine their level of understanding of the key laws and regulations.

In training a teller on compliance, a credit union must streamline the guidance so that it is complete, but is specific as to how the regulations impact the teller’s own practices. This not only saves training time, but also maximizes the learning impact for the teller.

Each course concludes with interactive, real-life scenarios where the student can practice and assess the knowledge and skills taught throughout the course.
