European Banking & Financial Services Training Association - EBTN |
In September 2007 the Association of Serbian Banks applied to the European Banking and Financial Services Training Association – EBTN with the request for a full membership in this institution. The application procedure for bank associations applying for the EBTN full membership is based on the EBTN Statute provisions. At the General meeting held on November 14th, 2007 in Paris, the Association of Serbian Banks’ full membership application was examined and formally granted by the European Banking Training Network. Thereby the Association of Serbian Banks became a full member with voting rights, actively contributing to the operation of the EBTN management bodies through its representative in the EBTN Board of Directors. Thus, the Association of Serbian Banks got the opportunity for full participation in all current projects and programs regarding banking and financial training, which are presently ran by the EBTN, and which banks in Serbia may find useful.
EBTN is a non-profit association of Institutes for Banking and Finance, i.e. Training Centers at national bank associations, as well as institutions for banking education from all European countries (full members) and other countries of the world (associate members without individual voting rights) that represents the interests of the banking industry and improves the standards of education/professional training for bank employees, including the improvement of relations with clients (financial education). At the moment, there are 24 full members and 18 associate members. The EBTN is based in Brussels, its Secretariat being located in Amsterdam.
