    current employee
    thankful and blessed
    The good thingslet's accept the fact. it's not about where you work, it's who you work with. the good thing about SBA is that it trains employees very well. maybe that's why it's called \"bank with a heart\". we do really offer excellent customer service and a lot more.
    The challengessystems get confused sometimes, but we always find a way out of it.

    5 to 6 years in the role, current employee
    This is where I started my banking career and up to present.
    The good thingsI entered the bank when I was a fresh grad and with little experience yet I was trusted to handle the job. Through the years, I was able to gain self-confidence, enhanced my marketing skills and acquire knowledge about the lending industry. In return, I have been contributing to our group's sales target and I have continuously moved up from where I started as a humble marketing assistant. I have managed to handle customer complaints, make quick decisions, hit sales target and maintain a good relationship with clients and colleagues.
    The challengesAt first it was a challenge to work in a savings bank knowing that there are many established competitors already. But nonetheless, you will learn to adapt to changes and be firm when making decisions pertaining to your work. With the support of management, you will find hope and trust that with hard work and perseverance, nothing is impossible.
