It’s always exciting to see banking practitioners motivated to enhance their professional skills and knowledge. At our recent Annual General Meeting, we were proud to recognise the outstanding achievements of our students in the Certified Banker (#CB) and Enhanced Competency Framework (#ECF) examinations. Congratulations to all the students who earned impressive scores! We would also like to express our sincere gratitude to all the Council Banks for their continuous support through the “Council Bank Professional Qualifications Scholarship Fund”, which enables us to support more practitioners with pursuing professional qualifications and further strengthen the pool of talent within the industry. #HKIB #ExaminationAwards #professionalqualifications

The growing prevalence and sophistication of cyber-attacks has made #cybersecurity a pressing topic for the banking industry. We were glad to be a supporting organisation for Hong Kong Computer Society’s recently held FinTech Seminar on Biometric Fraud Detection to help industry professionals learn more about these emerging threats.   This seminar brought together a range of cybersecurity and #FinTech experts to discuss the latest countermeasures and defenses against the use of #AI and machine learning by cybercriminals. We aim to continue to support events that facilitate the exchange of knowledge on these important topics.

We recently held our Annual General Meeting, where we reflected upon the milestones that the Institute achieved in 2023 and reaffirmed our direction going forward in facilitating #talent development.   Thank you to the Members of our Council Banks and Executive Committee for their leadership, as well as to all our Members for their ongoing support. With the industry undergoing extensive #upskilling and #reskilling initiatives to build capacity for the future, HKIB will continue to actively support #banking practitioners through our professional qualification programmes.

We were recently invited to a Seminar on Financial Professional Qualifications hosted by the Monetary Authority of Macao. As one of the participating institutions and a provider of professional qualifications, we introduced our programmes to attendees including financial practitioners, university students, and others interested in the #banking industry. Joining us at the event were organisations covering asset management, securities, #FinTech, and risk management. Together we shared insights with the younger generation to deepen their understanding of recognised financial qualifications, enable practitioners to enhance their knowledge and empower students to prepare for a career in banking and finance.
