The Florida School of Banking (FSB) provides bank professionals with essential industry and economic knowledge. In 2025, it celebrated 55 years of banking education. The three-year program consists of one-week annual sessions taken in sequence, culminating in a diploma upon successful completion. With over 3,100 graduates, FSB remains a valuable educational and networking opportunity.
FSB begins Sunday with registration, freshman orientation, and a welcome banquet. Freshmen learn school policies and banking fundamentals, juniors explore lending topics, and seniors participate in a Bank Management Simulation, competing in virtual banking communities. The week concludes with senior teams presenting to a "bank board of directors," with one team emerging as the winner.
