Bankers Training Press Releases

CHICAGO, January 12, 2006 - BAI Bankers Training & Certification Center has been recognized for its financial services training videos by The Communicator Awards, an independent, international awards competition that acknowledges outstanding work in the communications field.

"We are honored to receive this distinction and view it as a reinforcement of our commitment to serve the needs of our customers in the most effective way possible," said Jean Dunaway, senior managing director, BAI Bankers Training.

BAI Bankers Training received three awards:

Two Awards of Distinction (exceeding industry standards in production or communication skills) were granted to the two course program, "Opening Deposit Accounts: Rules for Compliance." The courses cover compliance topics including the process for opening deposit accounts, deposit accounts and transactions, and the regulatory signs or notices an institution is required to display.

Honorable Mention (meeting high industry standards) was garnered for "Security: Experts Speak Out" for meeting the high standards of the industry. This program presents four security experts, including a former bank robber, who share their real-world experience on the prevention of multiple security issues that threaten financial institutions.

The competition, which had more than 14,000 entries, was judged by industry professionals who look for companies and individuals whose talent exceeds a high standard of excellence and whose work serves as a benchmark for the industry.
