Code of Professional Conduct

If you work in banking and financial services you must act in a fair and honest manner.  This is to protect the interests of customers, colleagues and counterparties; and the wider interests of society as a whole.  As a minimum, compliance with legislation, regulation and industry/employer codes and standards is expected.

Membership of the Institute brings with it additional responsibilities.  All members are expected to display the highest standards of professionalism and a commitment to ethical conduct, giving due care and consideration to others and putting the public interest first.

To help members maintain these high standards, our Code of Professional Conduct identifies key attitudes and behaviour expected of our members and provides guidance to help them recognise and develop appropriate behaviours.  Failure to meet the high standards expected can result in suspension or expulsion.
