Chartered Institute of Bankers Nigeria

The Chartered Institute of Bankers of Nigeria mission is  "To be a global reference point for skills and conduct in the banking and finance industry."

The history of the Institute dates back to November 28, 1963 when one hundred and twenty-four bankers assembled at Randle Hall, Surulere

and consequently passed a resolution for the establishment of the Local Centre of the Institute of Bankers in Nigeria with the mandate of promoting banking education in Nigeria and esprit-de-corps among professional bankers.

The Institute was registered in 1976 as the Nigerian Institute of Bankers

The most significant landmark in the Institute’s history is the attainment of a Chartered Status, achieved on May 18th, 1990 by the Federal Government Act No. 12 of 1990. The Decree gives backing to the Institute to control entry into the banking profession and sets standards for bankers to comply with and maintain professional ethics.
