Women in Banking & Finance

Women in Banking and Finance (WIBF) is a social enterprise membership organisation, with branches in London, Belfast, Bristol, Birmingham, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Manchester and Norwich. We are primarily led by voluntary executive and management committees. Founded in 1980, our vision is a financial services industry that offers women equal opportunities as employees, customers and entrepreneurs to reach their full potential, and to contribute to building better businesses and places to work for all. We do this by bringing a gender lens to UK financial services by connecting, challenging and inspiring our network to unlock the full potential of our industry for all.

WIBF offers a range of services to support our mission:

  • Industry events: to support individuals and organisations on their journey to support the growth of women in all levels of their career;
  • Mentoring: to connect individuals (mentees) with more senior members of the community in a mentorship programme to support the growth and achievement of mentees’ ambition and potential;
  • Thought leadership: to provide actionable recommendations and affect policy change to better retain and promote women in the financial services workforce;
  • Job boards: to help organisations and candidates explore career opportunities in an environment supported by the ethos of WIBF and its research; and
  • Industry engagement: to engage with organisations, industry bodies, regulators and government agencies to shape policies, processes and education necessary to achieve WIBF’s mission.

Our values: volunteering, independence, inspiring, action-orientation
