The AICB has been championing the vision of professionalizing bankers since 1977 by upholding the standards of excellence for the financial services sector to empower its workforce through the systematic transfer of knowledge and qualifications. Today, AICB is a distinct professional body focusing on membership, education, examinations and awards as well as thought leadership.
EBTN is the united voice of providers of education and training in the banking sector. Through its 25 member bodies and 18 associates, EBTN represents the interest of the leading banking institutes. The vision of EBTN is to become the standard-setting body for the accreditation, certification and qualification of knowledge, skills and competences in the European financial services sector.
