Certifications
Certified Treasury Professional (CTP) Program
The Certified Treasury Professional (CTP), formerly the CCM, is an examination-based certification that is widely regarded by treasury managers as one of the leading credentials in the field. It demonstrates a high standard of professionalism and a commitment to performance. The CTP designation is the only professional credential in cash management. By earning the CTP, you achieve industry-wide recognition, become more competetive and create more opportunities for career advancement.

The increasing emphasis on maximizing the earning power of liquid assets, and the need to improve efficiency in treasury operations, has placed new importance on the cash/treasury management function. The result is a more demanding job market, where certification as a CTP is a valuable asset for your professional growth.

More and more employers, faced with critical staffing decisions, are looking at the CTP credential as an added value in prospective employees. Many are actively seeking people with the CTP credential.

To your peers, the CTP credential demonstrates your commitment to professional development and meeting new challenges.
