Registered under the Societies Act, 1860 was established in 1974 with an initial primary focus of providing training to the officials of banks and financial institutions of Bangladesh in order to strengthen and update their skill. Since then with more and more banks settings up their own training institutes to handle a significant part of their own objective based training needs, particularly those of their junior level officials, BIBM has also modified its training activities and broadened its operation to cover other areas of activities such as providing education in the form of degree- Masters in Bank Management (MBM) and Evening MBM (EMBM), carrying out research in banking & finance, holding seminars and roundtable discussions or aiding the banks in their recruitment.
