We are The London Institute of Banking & Finance, lifelong partners in financial education. Our values and culture We are proud of our heritage and our values: Listening and Learning, Innovation, Support, Transparency and Collaboration. We work hard to ensure our organisation is a great place to work and have twice been nominated for a Times Higher Education Leadership and Management award in the category of Workplace of the Year (2017 and 2018). Our history In 1879, a small group of bankers who shared a commitment to making financial education widely available to everyone in the sector, joined forces. They set up the first Institute of Bankers in England and Wales where they organised networking meetings and lectures and established industry-recognised qualifications, enabling workers to develop their careers. The Institute quickly became central to the banking community in England and Wales and its influence spread around the world. 140 years on, we are known as The London Institute of Banking & Finance. We continue our mission to provide accessible financial education to everyone and support the path of lifelong learning at every stage.
