Lady Susan Rice CBE
Chair of CB:PSB
"There is now the potential for a step change - to be able genuinely to call banking a profession, not because we want to talk about it in those terms, but because the hallmarks of professionalism are evident across the industry - a common Code of Conduct, Professional Standards, where gaining Professional Qualifications and being a proud member of a strong professional body is the norm for everyone. As an industry, we have successfully laid the foundation through the CB:PSB's professional standards. We now need to build a strong banking profession on this platform."
Simon Thompson
Chief Executive of the Chartered Banker Institute
"The CB:PSB remains a unique, effective and proven force for enhancing and sustaining professionalism in banking. The Chartered Banker Code and the CB:PSB's professional standards have become a sustainable foundation for banking professionalism since their emergence in 2011. Increasing numbers of individuals are now moving beyond Professional Standards to gain Professional Qualifications, giving them greater recognition of their achievements, and giving banks' customers and clients the qualified, professional workforce they expect."
