An outstanding achievement was recently announced when Janis Reeser, OBA director of education, and Kathryn Ivey, OBA Compliance School Board chair, named Compliance Analyst Amy Gorey and Compliance Analyst Hunter Smith as the two “Honors Graduates” representing the 2025 class at the OBA Compliance School.
Out of a class of 64 students from banks across Oklahoma, Amy and Hunter were chosen for the Compliance School honors by the school’s regents, staff, faculty and students in August of 2025. They were presented with the Honors Graduate plaques on November 24 at 1:30 p.m. at the RCB Bank Corporate office in Claremore, memorializing their outstanding work on the school’s case studies and their contributions to class discussions.
To be named as an honor graduate is an accomplishment in itself, but for both graduates to come from the same bank is a rarity and speaks volumes about the quality of RCB Bank’s employees.
Amy Gorey and Hunter Smith, both Compliance Analysts at RCB Bank, joined the Compliance department in Claremore on the same day in November 2024. Amy joined RCB Bank in August 2022 as a Customer Experience Specialist, later promoting to a position in Quality Assurance before transitioning to her current role. In addition to working full time, Amy is pursuing an education in Business Administration and expects to graduate with her bachelor’s degree in December 2026. In her current role as Compliance Analyst, Amy serves as the lead for marketing reviews and oversees the bank’s compliance document change management system and library.
Hunter joined RCB Bank in February 2023 as a Customer Experience Specialist, later promoting to a Customer Experience Specialist II before transitioning to his current role in Compliance. Hunter serves as the lead for vendor management review and oversees the bank’s Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) dispute process. Hunter stays current with new and changing compliance laws and regulations, providing monthly updates to senior and executive management.
Both Amy and Hunter conduct Compliance Reviews, Compliance Risk Assessments, consulting and other special projects as needed. Their drive to provide value and deliver quality work is evident daily.
The Compliance School, held annually, equips bank employees with the knowledge and skills required to navigate the complex landscape of laws and regulations governing bank lending and deposit operations.
In recognition of their achievement, Amy and Hunter will serve as advisory board members for one year, contributing to the planning and curriculum of next year’s compliance school. This opportunity aligns with their career goals and showcases RCB Bank’s commitment to fostering leadership within its ranks.
