Andrews earns Certificate from Consumer Credit School

Steph Andrews, Personal Banker with Northwest Bank in Estherville, IA successfully completed the Iowa Bankers Association Consumer Credit School, February 28 – March 4, 2022, in Ankeny, Iowa.

The school is an intense one-week program sponsored by the Iowa Bankers Association.  The purpose of the IBA Consumer Credit School is to prepare consumer credit personnel who want to broaden their consumer credit knowledge or who have not been exposed to formal consumer credit education, to serve effectively and profitably as consumer credit officers.  This is accomplished by developing a better understanding of the consumer credit function, allowing students to better meet the credit needs of their customers and serve their local communities.

Steph has been with Northwest Bank for nearly 7 years. Her primary responsibilities include opening and servicing deposit accounts, consumer lending and building customer relationships.
