Our History
In July 2012, and in the wake of the 2008/2009 financial crisis, the House of Commons and the House of Lords set up a Parliamentary Commission on Banking Standards to report on professional standards and culture in the UK banking sector. The Commission reported in June 2013 and recommended the creation of a ‘professional body for banking in the UK’
In November 2013 the chairs of the UK seven largest banks and building societies asked Sir Richard Lambert to undertake a consultation on developing such a body. Sir Richard published his review in May 2014, saying that ‘there is a strong case for a collective effort to raise standards of behaviour and competence in the banking sector, and that the best way to deliver this is by setting up a new and independent body to drive the process forward’.
