IBF is turning 50 this year! #ibf50 The story of IBF has been one of partnership and collaboration since its inception in 1974. In the early years, IBF started off as a training institute. In 2001, IBF repositioned itself to take on a more strategic role of setting competency standards, and accrediting training programmes for the financial sector. In 2018, our mandate expanded to include jobs development. We have continually reinvented ourselves, and co-created many bold initiatives with the industry. Every milestone was only possible with the support of our tripartite partners. As we celebrate our 50th Anniversary this year, we look forward to strengthening our partnerships to drive professional excellence and career resilience of the financial sector workforce. Visit our anniversary microsite to learn more about our 50 year journey and Golden Jubilee celebrations!

Morgan, Maybank Singapore, Mizuho Bank, MSIG Insurance, OCBC, Prudential Assurance Company Singapore, Singapore Exchange and UOB are partnering IBF and ITE to make this possible.
