More than 140 years of LIBF

In 1879, a small group of banking professionals saw the need for professional recognition for those working in the sector, and established formal qualifications to help people develop their careers.

140 years later, we continue to push the boundaries of education by providing accessible, inclusive and sustainable progression opportunities to students across the business, finance, and technology sectors. Today, as one of only a few professional bodies in the world with Taught Degree Awarding Powers, we deliver education to an ambitious, global community across 130 countries.
