Hello, hope you are doing well!

You can't get the direct managerial level job at a bank after only completing your higher secondary examination that is 12th standard. So, here is a detailed step by step explanation on how you can become a bank manager in your career-

A degree in finance, accounting, business administration or a related field is required at almost all banks. While in college, you will want to complete courses in business, finance, economics, accounting, marketing, and communications in order to best position yourself for the job. Attractive candidates will also have an MBA in finance or accounting; indeed, some banks require them.

Doing specialized course work covering various regulations or aspects of banking can improve your chances of being hired as a manager and lead to faster promotion. You can complete coursework through professional banking associations:

• The Banking Administration Institute offers online courses covering particular regulations, as well as certificates in auditing, risk assessment (reviewing and approving loans), and anti-money laundering.
• The Mortgage Bankers Association offers classroom and online courses covering all aspects of residential and commercial mortgage lending, as well as certificates in residential underwriting, loan origination and servicing, and commercial servicing, and the prestigious Certified Mortgage Banker designation.
• The American Bankers Association, which caters in particular to small hometown banks, offers online courses leading to a branch manager certificate.

To become a manager, you will typically need at least 2 years of experience, and preferably 5. You can start in college with internships or part-time jobs to gain experience. Many future managers begin working as loan officers or in accounting before moving up to assistant manager, then manager.

Because bank managers are in charge of all aspects of a bank, they will need a broad set of skill and knowledge.

• Detailed knowledge of the financial and banking sector, particularly in the areas of personal loans, commercial loans, and mortgages.
• Knowledge of the latest rules and laws governing the banking sector.
• An understanding of marketing and sales techniques.
• The interpersonal skills needed to hire, train, and manage employees.
• The ability to deal with customers with tact and confidentiality.

Bank manager is not an entry-level job . One of the most common paths is to work your way up through multiple jobs at a branch, giving you a feel for how the bank operates. Any position within a bank can eventually lead to your becoming a manager, though being a leader in loan generation will put you in a particularly good place to apply for the job. Many banks have training programs for students just out of college or for people transitioning from another career. These programs typically provide training and place you in a given track within the bank, such as finance and accounting, corporate banking, retail banking, or mortgage banking. Continuing education is provided and after a few years, you can apply for a management position.
