Welcome to CFT!

Southeast Regional Center for Financial Training has been serving you for 101 years (1910 -2011).  This non-profit organization remains committed to offering the best educational services at the reasonable prices with no membership fees!

We have been known as the Center for Financial Training since 2002 when we converted from an AIB Chapter to an organization who offers the AIB Educational Program. We are proud to be a Local ABA Training Provider providing you access to AIB courses, diplomas and certificates to help you advance your career.

Southeast Regional CFT offers spring, summer and fall term schedules that include in-person, instructor-led online, assisted self-study and self-paced online courses. CFT also offers Webinars (telephone seminars accompanied by an Internet presentation).

Through these resources, bankers can obtain education in operations, management, supervision, teller practices, compliance, computer skills, trust, IRA, and numerous other important, relevant financial topics. CFT also offers self-paced online securities training.

CFT maintains student records showing each student's grades and credits earned for both AIB and CFT programs, and CFT will continue to award AIB diplomas and certificates, according to National curriculum standards.

CFT is pleased to use ABA materials for all AIB programs, and CFT works with full time bankers to teach AIB courses. CFT works with two boards of directors, one that oversees the whole organization, and another that works directly with South Carolina. Both of these boards continue to direct and influence the activities of the organization, and the members represent the needs of local bankers.

CFT has gone through a name change and its product and service line has been expanded to serve you more efficiently and effectively. We have changed for the better, but we have kept the things that people have always valued.
