The Chartered Banker Institute

The Chartered Banker Institute is the largest professional membership body for bankers in the UK, with more than 30,000 members, our student membership continues to grow each year across 57 global locations. We are the oldest banking institute in the world; the only remaining banking institute in the UK and the only organisation in the world to award the 'Chartered Banker'​ designation to its qualified members. \\Our work as a professional body for bankers complements and supports the work of regulators and banks to enhance and sustain customer-focused, ethical professionalism in Banking. Our primary aim is to develop and maintain the highest industry-wide standards in the banking and financial services sector, through the provision of top quality financial services qualifications and our worldwide relationships with the main powers and influencers in the industry. \\As the importance of professional standards in banking is at the core of everything we believe in, we led the way by establishing the Chartered Banker Professional Standards Board (CB:PSB), an initiative supported by eight UK banks and covering 350,000 individuals working in the banking sector.\\Chartered Banker Institute is a trading name of The Chartered Institute of Bankers in Scotland(CIOBS): Charitable Body No SC013927
