Bank Auditor II at Forcht Bank

BE HAPPIER IN YOUR CAREER

As an 8-time winner of Best Places to Work (in Kentucky), we understand the importance of creating a workplace culture that gives our bankers a purpose each and every day.  That purpose is to find unique ways to deliver our brand of happier banking service to customers and other employees.  We’re looking for self-starters, outside-the-box thinkers, customer service wizards, small business enthusiasts, and servants within their community. Notice we didn’t say bankers.  At Forcht Bank we value diverse and unique thinking that could help us serve our customers better. That’s exactly who we are.  What other banks do you know that have an Ice Cream Machine to hand out free ice cream and 18 foot tall forks outside their locations?

WHO WE ARE

While we opened our doors in 1985 offering traditional banking services, we soon realized we needed to deliver them in a nontraditional way. Financial services are a competitive industry, with over 5,000 banks and 5,300 credit unions.  That’s a lot. We understand that we must differentiate ourselves by offering a unique combination of banking, consisting of exceptional customer service and with a twist of great digital banking tools to help our customers manage their basic needs. This is part of our happier banking recipe. Another component is encouraging our bankers to exemplify our values daily.

We believe in:

• Giving back to our communities.
