As part of efforts to equip its Staff and develop the skills set with the Bank, a selected number of Relationship and Branch Managers of HFC Bank are currently undergoing a five day intensive credit training program facilitated by Ms. Kala Bickramsigh and Mr. Garvin Ahye from Republic Bank Limited (RBL) Risk Management Department in Trinidad and Tobago.

The program is expected to cover all aspects of personal, commercial and corporate credit with a special emphasis on credit analysis techniques for the SME sector.

This training program will sharpen the skills of the HFC Bank Staff in providing better risk analysis techniques when dealing with their customers.

At the launch of the program, Mr. Robert Le Hunte, Managing Director of HFC Bank implored the team of credit officers to apply the skills learnt over the next five days in providing enhanced services to their customers.

He reminded the team that the speed of the Banks responsiveness to its customer needs will be a major differentiator between HFC Bank and the other banks going forward.
