Testimonial
Could you tell us about your career path and your initial and continuing training?
I have been working in Private Banking since 2011 starting off as an Assistant RM in the Wealth Management division at BSI SA, Bahrain Branch.
In my 13 years of working in the private banking sphere, I have honed by skills and developed my knowledge in the different elements of this business from private banking support, to the investment and advisory universe, credit and wealth management services. The CMWA certification covered every component and topic that could be faced by a senior private banker. It further solidified the knowledge required and gave guidance on structure needed to best serve the HNWI and UHNWI space.
You obtained your CWMA SAQ Certification in 2023. What was your state of mind at the start of the certification process?
I was initially taken aback by the amount of information and material that we needed to cover, especially since there were already many changes happening on the work front that needed attention.
If you had to advise future SAQ certified people, what advice would you give them?
Proper planning is key – do not to leave the studying to the last minute!
