CFF offers a series of training programs which we believe are aptly suited towards addressing issues faced by the credit union movement. We also provide customized support in order to address Credit Unions' specific strategic and operational needs.
AML/CFT - In an effort to respond to the needs of our members, the Central Finance Facility in conjunction with Rolley Data Systems has created a compliance Solutions package to assist Credit Unions with compliance solutions that are challenging to our units. As we are aware, the Proceeds of Crime Act and the Financial Obligations and its amendments create the obligation for Credit Unions to be compliant with the anti-money laundering laws of Trinidad and Tobago. Compliance failures are extremely expensive as the Directors and Officers of the Credit Union can be faced with heavy penalties as outlined in the law. Non-compliance can also lead to enhanced regulatory scrutiny and may result in the loss of license to operate and continue business.
Customer Service/Relationship Management - This workshop is a unique interactive experience that will open the eyes of participants on exactly what it takes to make a world-class customer service experience. It presents to participants exceptional, practical ideas focused on issues of quality, service attitude, customer protocols, customer expectations and service excellence to challenge energies for top-notch results.
