Bank Risk Types and Trends

For this phase of the course project, you will research a bank to use as the subject of your project. The bank that you select should be a publicly traded bank, which means it will be traded on one of the stock exchanges such as NASDAQ or NYSE.

• Briefly describe the bank, its product and service offerings, and components of your plan.
• What are the strategic, operational, finance, and compliance risks associated with your bank and the banking industry in general?

Write 1 - 2 paragraphs that introduce the topics below:

• Risk Types
