The Chartered Banker Institute has withdrawn from issuing Statements of Professional Standing (SPS).
We agreed with the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) to cease issuing SPSs from 31st December 2024, meaning the final ones issued lapsed at the end of 2025.
Those who held an SPS with the Institute which has now expired can no longer use the Professional Financial Adviser title, the PFA post-nominal or DipIP or DipPFA designations.
