  • Our Commitment to Professionalism in Banking
    Chartered Banker Professional Standards Board Our Commitment to Professionalism in Banking October 2011 1 INTRODUCTION Our customers, colleagues, regulators and shareholders rightly want to see a banking industry built on a solid foundation of ethical professionalism. They want to see banks and bankers supporting customers whilst lending responsibly, acting as trusted advisers to individuals and businesses, and playing a positive role in the community. As leaders in our industry, so do we. That is why we have launched “Our Commitment to Professionalism in Banking” and founded the Chartered Banker Professional Standards Board (CB:PSB). The CB:PSB will: • Develop a series of professional standards to support the ethical awareness, customer focus and competence of those working in the banking industry; • Facilitate industry and public awareness and recognition of the standards; • Establish mechanisms for the implementation, monitoring and enforcement of the standards; and • Help build, over time, greater public confidence and trust in individuals, institutions and the banking industry overall, and enhance pride in the banking profession. We recognise the importance of demonstrating to our customers and colleagues that we are committed to building our industry’s reputation. This initiative is a public demonstration of this commitment, and of our understanding of our responsibilities to our customers, to colleagues and to wider society. We are not setting up another regulatory body. Rule-making is not part of the CB:PSB’s remit. Nor will the CB:PSB set examinations for bankers. Far more can be achieved by encouragement, example and leadership. The CB:PSB is a public demonstration of moral leadership for our banking industry.
