CeB Designation PDF Print E-mail

The Certified Banker designation was awarded to those who had gained both the requisite educational standard and experience to operate effectively in managerial, supervisory, professional or specialist roles in banking and financial services. Please note that the CeB designation CPD scheme does not fall under the Minimum Competency Requirements as set out by the Financial Regulator (www.financialregulator.ie).

Those who hold the CeB designation are:

  • Entitiled to use the title "Certified Banker"
  • Entitled to use the designatory letters 'CeB' after their name
  • Receive the Institute's Certified Banker parchment which confirms their right to use the title


The Certified Banker designation provides a significant benchmark for organisations and individuals operating in the financial services industry and their customers. For example, the Certified Banker designation:

  • Allows qualified individuals to have their knowledge and experience of Financial Services and their commitment to life-long learning validated by the Institute.
  • Provides verification for employers and regulators regarding the knowledge and experience attained by existing and prospective staff.
  • Provides additional insight for the public in assessing the knowledge and experience attained by the holder.

Please note that the Institute no longer awards the Certified Banker (CeB) designation. A new designation 'Chartered Banker' was introduced in January 2010. Click on the Chartered Banker tab on the left hand side, for further information on this new designation.

Certified Bankers have a once-off opportunity to 'grandfather' across to the new Chartered Banker designation in 2010 only (information regarding same has been sent to all CeBs).
