Corporate Banking

"I'm Raj Sood, head of 7city's corporate, commercial and business banking training division.  The corporate banking world is experiencing unprecedented challenges and individual banks face immense pressure from all directions:

  • pressure to lend to kick-start the economy
  • pressure to maintain healthy balance sheets
  • pressure to deliver shareholder returns
  • pressure to create and retain jobs
  • pressure to restrict remuneration

...and the list goes on.

At 7city, we understand the environment that corporate bankers are working in.  We understand the challenges and we understand the overall objectives, so we are able to deliver training that genuinely meets your needs and resonates with your people.

We are trusted by the biggest corporate banks in the world to deliver training programmes to interns, new graduates, lateral hires and experienced managers and senior managers.  Our global network enables us to service banks with an international footprint and provide a global perspective.

Our experience of corporate banking products and services enables us to tailor what we offer.  We are able to modify and adapt our approach for audiences ranging from relationship managers servicing fishermen with a single boat to credit analysts assessing multi-national corporates and financial institutions. 

Our offering can be divided into three main areas (see below) and we are able to deliver programmes that cater for any of these or combine them to produce an all-encompassing fused solution (for examples click on the sample case studies to the right).
