About HKIB
Established in 1963, The Hong Kong Institute of Bankers (HKIB) is the first not-for-profit institution
that provides training and certification services to the banking community in Hong Kong. Playing
an important role in talent development in the local banking industry for more than five decades
now, the Institute is also proud to be the first professional body in the territory to offer banking
qualifications equivalent to a Master’s degree level.
The HKIB’s mission is to enhance and sustain professionalism in banking. Over the years, the
HKIB has helped hundreds of thousands of practitioners and young graduates who aspired to join
the industry to equip themselves with essential banking skills and knowledge through a complete
development pathway – from recognised professional qualifications to continuing development
programmes. Designated professional qualifications are recognised both in Hong Kong and
overseas.
HKIB’s Objectives
- To provide a high-quality training service that helps banking practitioners develop their skills
and progress in their careers - To increase the competency of banking practitioners by setting an internationally recognised
qualification benchmark - To nurture qualified bankers, supporting the long-term sustainable growth of the banking
industry - To facilitate the discussion of issues to further the interests of the banking and financial
community - To serve as a platform where banking practitioners may exchange ideas, thoughts, and best
practices for enhancing the banking profession.
To ensure the sustainable growth of banking talent, the HKIB has built relationships across
borders by entering into memoranda of understanding or partnership agreements on the
exchange of expertise and best practices with several professional bodies and regulators in
Mainland China, Macau and overseas.
The HKIB also offers a comprehensive range of events, from networking activities, luncheons and
seminars to conferences and forums. In this increasingly complex and challenging banking
landscape, there is a strong need for current banking practitioners or potential joiners to keep
abreast of the latest industry developments and build capacity.
