How to become a universal banker?

To become a universal banker, you typically need at least a high school diploma or GED certificate and on-the-job training. Some employers prefer job candidates with relevant banking experience or an educational background in business, finance, or a related field. If you plan to work with investments, you may need additional education to comply with federal regulations, as well as a license to sell investment products from an organization such as the North American Securities Administrators Association. Other qualifications include strong customer service and organizational skills, computer and mathematics proficiency, and attention to detail. The American Bankers Association offers industry resources and certification opportunities, which may help give you a competitive advantage.
