INDIVIDUAL ONLINE CERTIFICATE PROGRAMS

ICBA Education’s collection of certificate programs is the ideal way to train those new to the industry, enhance professional skills, gain practical training, explore banking career growth, and affirm expertise. There are several options available on a variety of banking related subjects. Some certificates are available for an unlimited number of employees and others are available on an individual basis.
 
Certificate programs are online, self-paced programs which provide a certificate of completion and do not require continuing education. They are not the same as ICBA’s certification programs, which are instructor led and require continuing education to maintain the specific designation. Learn more at Certificate Programs

BSA/AML Training Series
Staff training is a core requirement of a satisfactory Bank Secrecy Act and Anti-Money Laundering (BSA/AML) compliance program. Examiners specifically look for BSA/AML training by job category when measuring the effectiveness of a bank's program. 
The BSA/AML Video Training Series - Updated in 2023 features 5 different presentations customized to provide job specific training for every member of your bank staff including Senior Management and Directors. This live action series contains fresh content, best practices, the latest hot topics in BSA/AML, and is everything your bank needs to comply with the annual training requirements.

Check Your Ad
The Check Your Ad Program takes the guesswork out of determining the appropriate requirements for deposit and lending advertisements so that you can ensure your advertisements are compliant before an auditor or examiner finds a violation.
The advertising requirements of Regulation Z and Regulation DD are convoluted. To ensure that an advertisement complies requires checking and rechecking of the regulations. Check Your Ad simplifies the process! The program walks you through the details of each regulatory requirement based on your type of advertisement. Answer a series of questions to generate a report to know whether the advertisement is compliant or needs revisions to meet regulatory requirements.
