About Us








Overview The Iran Banking Institute (IBI) is a leading professional training Institute in Iran.The Iran Banking Institute was founded in 1963 in response to the growing needs of the economy for trained and qualified personnel in business, finance, and especially in the banking industry. The institute has been operating since 1963, but after the Islamic revolution in 1979, it was comprehensively reorganized to meet the educational challenges posed by the introduction of Islamic banking in Iran. The academic profile of the institute consists of undergraduate and graduate courses in banking, accounting, economic and financial law. Over 2000 students attend different degree courses at Iran Banking Institute every year. Also the institute provides a number of vocational short courses that are highly demanded by banks and other financial institutes. Vocational courses incorporating the latest banking technology and know-how are offered to the banking system employees on a wide range of topics including capital markets, international banking, investment and money markets, the stock exchange, Islamic banking and similar subjects. In addition, the institute offers courses, in Tehran and in its eight centers in the provinces, which enable bank employees with non-core university degrees to acquire basic training in banking and thus qualify as "core" employees with professional banking qualifications. The institute’s main campus is in Tehran and it has eight centers in the provinces of Mashad, Isfahan, Shiraz, Tabriz, Rasht, Ahwaz, and Sari. This allows bank employees throughout the main provinces of the country to pursue academic education without having to travel to Tehran. The Institute is also a venue for organizing seminars and conferences on banking, finance and related topics. Seminars, workshops and conferences have been organized, sometimes jointly with such international organizations as the International Monetary Fund (IMF), the Islamic Development Bank and also with such professional Iranian institutions as the Audit organization, the Tehran Stock Exchange, and the Iranian Institute of Chartered Accountants, in order to present the latest advances in the professional literature, including banking technology. Distinguished speakers from around the world are invited to give lectures and to discuss the latest global development in the monetary, trade and banking fields.
