The CB:PSB has published the Chartered Banker Code of Professional Conduct (“the Code”), which sets out the ethical and professional attitudes and behaviours expected of bankers by the CB:PSB. Banks supporting the CB:PSB have agreed to subscribe to the Code. CB:PSB member banks will determine how the Code’s broad principles may best be implemented and embedded in their organizations.
The Chartered Banker Code of Professional Conduct
I will demonstrate my personal commitment to professionalism in banking by:
- Treating all customers, colleagues and counterparties with respect and integrity;
- Considering the risks and implications of my actions and advice, and holding myself accountable for them and for the impact these may have on others;
- Complying with all current regulatory and legal requirements and following best industry practice;
- Treating information with appropriate confidentiality and sensitivity;
- Being alert to and managing potential conflicts of interest which may arise whilst performing my role;
- Developing and maintaining my professional knowledge and skills; and
- Acting, at all times, in a fair, honest, trustworthy and diligent manner.
