KENNEBEC SAVINGS BANK CONGRATULATES TWENTY-THIRD CERTIFIED TELLER
Amanda Parenteau of Kennebec Savings Bank received her Certified Teller Certificate from Northern New England Center for Financial Training (NNECFT) at the Annual Student Awards Banquet recently in Auburn.
Parenteau, an employee of Kennebec Savings Bank since November of 2007, received her Certified Teller Certificate at the Annual Student Awards Banquet. In addition to this noteworthy distinction, Amanda was recognized as an honor student. She lives in West Gardiner with her husband, Chad, and her two children, Izabella and Keagan.
In order to become a Certified Teller, each candidate is required to have a minimum of one year of teller experience as a teller, as well as a written recommendation verifying their exceptional job and skill performance. Two classes, Principles of Banking and Law and Banking Applications, offered by the NNECFT, must be completed. Applicants must also take the Teller Customer Relations seminar offered by the Maine Association of Community Banks.
After the above criteria are met, students are given a two-hour examination over the material studied within the program. It is administered only twice each year and a passing grade must be received in order to become a Certified Teller. Amanda Parenteau was the twenty-third Kennebec Savings Bank employee to receive this designation.
President and CEO of Kennebec Savings Bank, Mark Johnston, spoke about the Bank employees’ commitment to ongoing education, “I am proud that KSB’s employees are empowered to learn more, both to better themselves as well as to better serve our customers. These Certificates enable our personnel to aid in surpassing customer expectations, building our reputation, and enhancing our knowledge of the industry in general.”
The banquet, held at the Hilton Garden Inn Auburn Riverwatch, allows the NNECFT organization to formally recognize individuals who have achieved awards, diplomas, and certificates upon completion of a program. Instructors, past NNECFT leaders, and bankers closely tied to the goals of the organization are also acknowledged.
