Ensure your staff have a comprehensive understanding of the standards of practice and service within the Australian banking industry, particularly for member banks adhering to the Banking Code of Practice.

The Banking Code of Practice sets out the standards of practice and service in the Australian Banking Industry for individual and small business customers and their guarantors.

The Code provides safeguards and protections not set out in the law, rather it complements the law and sets higher standards than legislation.

Safetrac’s ‘Banking Code of Practice’ course ensures that staff are trained on the information provided in the code. It is a condition of membership of the Australian Banking Association (ABA) that member banks with a retail presence in Australia sign up to the Code.
