Importance of Banking Education 

The Global Financial Crisis of 2008 rooted in the banking sector has vividly

demonstrated the importance of continuous investment in the training and education of

the banking community throughout the regions of the world.

Banking education is vital in ensuring effectiveness, professionalism and upgrading of

skills, which all add to the advancement of the industry in general. Because banking is

probably one of the most dominant phenomena in recent economic memory, and a
