The banker’s oath explained

Ik schrijf mij in

Recently, the Royal Decree regarding the banker's oath was published in the Official Gazette. This decree confirms the implementation of new obligations for bankers starting January 15, 2025, which will significantly impact many employees within the sector. While changes can sometimes evoke fear, it is important to understand that this decree is primarily intended to promote ethical and customer-focused behaviour and to provide a clear structure within which bank employees can fulfil their responsibilities. Taking the banker's oath is more than a formal obligation. It is a personal promise in which you commit to adhering to the code of conduct and pledge to act honestly, carefully, and in the customer's best interest. This promise underscores the importance of transparency, integrity, and social responsibility in financial services.

The objectives of this training are to :

familiarize you with the text and content of the banker's oath so that you fully understand what is expected of you and why it is important;
increase your awareness of ethical obligations and standards within the financial sector;
emphasize the importance of integrity, honesty, and customer focus in your daily work as an employee;
teach you to recognize and effectively address ethical dilemmas, which is crucial for maintaining integrity and reliability within the sector.

Following this training not only helps you to be prepared and confident but also contributes to strengthening customer trust in the financial sector. By participating in this training, you contribute to a culture of ethical behaviour and customer orientation, which is essential for the success and reputation of your organization.
