Examiners who successfully complete the UCE receive a commission from the Comptroller of the Currency that signifies that a National Bank Examiner (NBE) is qualified to lead examinations of national banks and thrift institutions, their affiliates, and bank service corporations. Entry-level bank examiners receive a base starting salary of $58,000* in addition to a locality differential based on the employee’s designated location.
