I am well aware of banking activities, although your training would shape my abilities to perfection.

My key competencies include high proficiency with numbers, accuracy in complex calculations, great inter-personal communication skills, and sharp analytical and data interpretation skills. I would like to become a part of your team and contribute towards sustaining the reputation of your establishment, while working on increasing the efficiency of the banking process and developing the quality of service, so as to guarantee client satisfaction, and work towards exceeding their expectations.
