Asian-Pacific Association of Banking Institutes (APABI)

The Asia Pacific Association of Banking Institutes (APABI) is a semi-formal and non-profit association, established in 1986 by 11 banking institutes (founding members). Currently 20 banking institutes in Asia and Asia Pacific Region are members of the association. APABI plays an important role in bringing together specialist training institutes that share a common goal to equip banks and financial institutions with the capacity to deal with the transformational developments that are shaping the financial sector by supporting the continued renewal of its most valuable asset, human capital. APABI Executive Committee meets once in two years. APABI has no membership fee or corpus. As such the members take responsibility for organizing meetings and conferences under APABI on a rotation basis. The meetings and conferences have been found useful for the APABI members as also the host institute. Objectives of APABI: - To promote greater rapport and understanding of banking education and training - To promote cooperation among members in banking education and training
