PACB is happy to announce our new, expanded educational offerings! 
​In collaboration with ICBA’s education department, Community Banker University (CBU), certification programs, seminars, online training, and a host of resources are now available on our website, making it easier for you to find needed education.

The new Affiliate Education Program will ensure that collectively, we put community banks in contact with the training tools necessary to grow bankers’ knowledge and skills.

Let’s all win by increasing knowledge, improving efficiency, and investing in our employees while working together to uplift the industry we love—COMMUNITY BANKING!
