Accredited Ethical Banking: Case Study FairBanking Foundation
Webinar

Webinar Recording

It goes without saying that in financial services, trust is a vital commodity. The potential dividends of trust and ethical conduct are significant. Employees are far more likely to be engaged and live your organization's values, be strongly committed to their job and the customers they serve. While customers are far more likely to advocate on your behalf, stay loyal, and crucially buy your products. In this interesting webinar, we will be talking to David Coe, CEO of the Fairbanking Foundation, whose presentation will explain the Fairbanking Mark, how it works, and why financial services companies should keep trust and ethics central to their culture. David will be joined by Matt Gantley, CEO of the United Kingdom Accreditation Service (UKAS), which as the UK’s government-appointed National Accreditation Body oversees and accredits the Fairbanking Mark scheme.
