What is the Summer Banking Institute?

The Ohio Bankers League is the trade association representing all banks in the State of Ohio and is host to SBI. SBI is statewide internship program that is designed to attract and retain diverse candidates from different academic backgrounds and immerse them in the banking industry by placing them as a student intern at a participating Ohio bank.
