Excellent promotion prospects to special grade clerks and officers too will arise as established banks expand their services and new banks and branches are opened. With the introduction of computers, banking activities will expand and additional officers will be required for sound management and control and also to replace those who retire or leave the industry. Most banks still rely heavily on the bulwark of the banking services, the clerical staff as their traditional source of skilled and experienced manpower for their supervisory and managerial positions. Regular promotion exercises are conducted. Those who have shown their ability through hard work and perseverance, banking knowledge and experience, are up-graded to supervisory and professional levels.
Promotion then is based strictly on merit.
Malaysia has a dynamic, progressive and rapidly developing commercial banking system. As the country develops, banks and other financial institutions would have to expand their network, their facilities and services to meet the surging demands of an expanding and diversifying economy. Hence, the need for personnel at all levels, will escalate correspondingly. For the progressive minded in general and for the secondary leavers and graduates in particular, this can be the stepping stone to a rewarding career and an exciting future.
