About us

The Corporate, Investment Banking & Financial Services Club (CIBFS) at Greenwich connects students with the financial industry. We run research, events and peer support for anyone aiming at a career in finance, whatever course they are on.

We were named Best New Academic Society in 2023. The School of Accounting, Finance and Economics has since awarded us a Certificate of Contribution for helping students understand financial markets and the financial industry.

We have partnered with J.P. Morgan, Northern Trust, KPMG and AmplifyMe on workshops, mock interviews and skills sessions. Alumni now working in finance come back to share how they got there.

Membership for 2026/27 is free.

Our core values

Inspire. Showing what is achievable, through past members who have gone on to internships and placements at major financial institutions.
