The main theme will focus on growing the bank, whilst also protecting it. Thus, the challenge is to grow a commercially sound bank, which is also fully compliant and respected by its customers and staff. The graduates will be split into teams, with each team running a bank and competing in a virtual marketplace.

Richard Berg, CEO of Business Smart International commented, "We are delighted to be working in partnership with one of our major clients to create an engaging and meaningful learning experience, which will develop the participants and assist the bank in developing best practice. The graduates will work hard and have fun, whilst learning some valuable insights and lessons. The latest feedback showed that 98% of graduates agreed that this is an effective way to learn the importance of balancing risk and growth.  We believe they will soon be well on their way to becoming ‘Business Smart bankers’."
