Financial ServicesSingapore51-200 Employees

The Institute of Banking and Finance Singapore (IBF) is a not-for-profit industry association founded in 1974 to strengthen the professional competencies of the financial services sector in Singapore. It counts nearly 200 member institutions—from banks and insurers to securities brokerages and asset managers—as its constituency and collaborates with industry groups, government agencies, training providers, and trade unions to support the sector’s growth. IBF serves as Singapore’s national accreditation and certification authority for financial services competency under the Skills Framework for Financial Services, a framework developed with industry input; individuals who complete IBF-accredited programs and meet the criteria may apply for IBF Certification.

Under Workforce Singapore’s Adapt and Grow initiative, IBF is the appointed programme manager for professional conversion programs in the financial industry, coordinating with financial institutions to help employees re-skill for expanded roles in growth areas. It also operates Careers Connect, offering personalized career advisory services to Singapore Citizens and Permanent Residents exploring new roles or career switches into finance. Based in Singapore and operating as a mid-sized organization, IBF continues to pursue partnerships and initiatives, including a May 2026 collaboration with Nanyang Technological University to develop a joint program.
