Recently, we marked a quiet but meaningful step forward for finance talent in Singapore.
The CFA Program Level I is now accredited under the Institute of Banking and Finance Standards Training Scheme. It matters because it connects globally recognized professional education with local workforce priorities, and it lowers a real barrier for people committed to building long-term careers in finance.
With IBF support, eligible candidates in Singapore can now access 50 to 70% funding for CFA Program Level I. That support helps turn ambition into something more practical, and more attainable.
This milestone shows what’s possible when industry, professional bodies, and the community move in the same direction. We’re proud to build on this momentum alongside Institute of Banking and Finance and CFA Society Singapore, and to keep strengthening pathways into the profession.
