Started working officially at The Alternative Bank Sterling Bank exactly a year ago.In that one year I have laughed, been excited, learnt, questioned myself and grown. I am definitely so proud of who I have become.From working with customer experience :Quality assurance(auditing calls and social media interactions ), contact centre(making calls myself and answering customers first hand), to Projects , then to working with strategy and innovation (starting a branch from the scratch, organizing events and telling people first hand who we are as well as managing several projects). Working with diverse teams has helped me hone some of my skills and pick up new ones.Here are ten lessons I have learnt on this job that I would love to share:-Customers are king: They are the reason we do what we do and their needs and satisfaction is to be prioritized -Ask questions: Being inquisitive will do you a lot of good, it makes it easier for one to discharge their duties effectively -Never think of yourself as too small: You are enough and there is a reason you are currently where you are, so never think less of yourself-Continue to learn and develop yourself :The world is ever changing, read that book, take that course, and learn from your colleagues -Hold yourself accountable but never beat yourself up: You should take responsibility for your actions but while at that never dwell on your mistakes-The numbers matter: Use numbers to track your progress at work and to know where you are defaulting so you fix up-Always know when it is time to rest and recharge: You need to find balance and take regular breaks to avoid burnout-Be kind: Always ensure you leave people better than you met them and be empathetic.-Do your duties diligently: Always strive to do your duties diligently and respect everyone while at it-Collaborate: Team work makes the dream work, never isolate yourself from othersI am extremely grateful for my bosses Khafil Animashaun Daphne Akatugba who have given me an avenue to discover more about myself while working on several projects. My incredible managers at work whose leading and directions have made work easy, my incredible colleagues Felicia Alamu Adedolapo Aderoju and so many others for being the best colleagues one could ask for.Indeed this has been a journey, one of several highs and lows.Let’s see what the second year holds!🚀

This diagram is very eye opening! In my Credit Analyst role at Magnolia Bank sometimes work gets chaotic, becomes routine, and I have even been known to procrastinate😬. The grayed out areas are the ones I should focus on to experience SUCCESS. What are your thoughts on this chart? #MyMagnoliaBank

In July I will have been working in Banking for 38 years, the initial 31 with NatWest and the last 7 here at Handelsbanken in Colchester.I've somehow managed to go through this journey with only having to have 2 job interviews (which given the changing world we all now have to operate in is probably a good thing for me!).Over this time, I have met a wonderful range of people and professional contacts many of whom have become long-term friends both inside & outside of the work environment. However, life is too short and I have now made the difficult decision to call time upon my Banking career & allow someone else the opportunity to continue in my footsteps.At the moment, I'm undecided as to where my destiny lies.As many of you will be aware, outside of the bank I am a very keen amateur photographer, having been short-listed in a number of high profile National & Global Photography competitions over the years.With this in mind, I'm thinking it might be an opportune time to spend more time on my photography, both commercial and retail (who wouldn’t want a limited edition award winning print hanging on their walls?).However, these plans are still in the very early stages & as we all know, nothing is set in stone.I'm sure other opportunities may well present themselves in various ways over the course of time & as such, I'm not discounting anything.The last 7 ½ years at Handelsbanken have been refreshing and at times a revisiting of the halcyon days of banking when the Bank Manager, based in the same area as the clients actually knew their customers and could make credit decisions at a local level. The advantage of having a true local relationship service has been clear to see with many clients benefiting from introductions made over the years, particularly for those operating in the local property sector.This way of working was somewhat different in my latter years working for NatWest/RBS when I was expected to look after large Law firms based throughout Essex & Kent.I can readily admit now that my knowledge of the local market in Maidstone, Ashford & other Kentish towns was somewhat lacking!The conversations I have had over the years with ex banking colleagues have confirmed that the skills learned throughout the banking career are clearly transferable to a multitude of other businesses & sectors.When you’ve done the job for as long as I have you really do become a little institutionalised and what others see as a strength is just ‘normal’ behaviour for you. With this in mind, I look forward to using these skills built up over the years in whatever venture I decide to pursue. Thanks to all & everyone one of you for everything we have achieved over the years & for my existing clients, I know you are going to continue to be well looked after and as such there is nothing for you to worry about. I’m going to still be about until the end of July and as such if you need anything in the interim please don’t hesitate to contact me.

True story one Monday afternoon.I walk into the bank branch close to my workplace to complete a transaction.Then one of the cashiers (we’ll call Angelo) says to me:Angelo: “Oforma, how are you not working here, Bro?”Oforma: You guy’s hiring? (I tease)Angelo: Totally, Bro. You dress like a banker you’ll nail it. You’ve got that vibe.Oforma: (I laugh) I don’t know, man. I worked for a bank before, but I don't think I want to sp--Angelo: *Cuts me off* Listen, I’m sending you this link. Apply and you could even say I referred you.Angelo: Just think about it, Bro.How did a guy I met 3 weeks ago at the bank get so invested in me?It’s called conversation. Just engage.Start talking to people.

So let there be a Story.Few things in advance:·Bankers will be familiar with some or most of the aspects I am going to discuss. Non-bankers may also find it interesting, for example, because it is an insight into the banking kitchen (I will be a bit of an Arthur Hailey wannabe here, if you like); and because the Story covers the general matters of personal career choices. ·I am NOT going to say that a specific area within banking is preferable or better.·The Story will be presented in a sequence of posts.·The role of the Corporate Relationship Manager (RM) in a bank will be the ultimate focus.·The Story is addressed to those who are working on their personal choices as well as those who manage teams and care for people in those teams.You may not have time to read on. That’s okay. The story boils down to the following:·Cross-functional rotation is fun.·Giving authority to people and helping them grow is the best way.·Being a Corporate RM may be great or not so great depending on the authority provided.Let’s begin. It all starts with the dialogue that I brought up in my previous post. I will put it here again, slightly extended:·"Have you ever had any regret for once leaving Markets and becoming a Relationship Manager?" – a great colleague from one of the FX Sales teams in an international bank recently asked me this.·“Why do you say “regret”?” – I went back.·“Well,... we [the Markets people] are taking [market] risk… [and RMs don’t]”…In my next post, we will explore this dialogue and walk through the Hierarchy of Coolness along the Axis of Risk Taking. And we will meet the Traders. See you soon!

Last 3 years at YES BANK have been a remarkable turn around story. In a chat with Sumit Gupta, Chief Risk Officer at Yes Bank we discuss some of the pivotal decisions taken to steer the bank through the tough times. Sumit also shares a different perspective on how he looks at the external volatility and its impact on bank. #riskmanagement #crisismanagement #bankingandfinance
