 "You will doubtless take full advantage of the opportunities the Institute will offer you in the way of attaining proficiency in your profession. You have every reason to do so, for I believe there will be a steady expansion of banking business in South Africa affording scope for advancement of capable men." the words of the First elected President Mr. Hector Mackenzie, said at his 1904 inaugural speech.
Our history and legacy is long and rich, having served the Banking Sector in South Africa with unwavering commitment.
