Guild of International Bankers

Guild of International Bankers

The Guild of International Bankers is one of the Livery Companies of the City of London.

In 1999 the City of London Corporation extended the possibility of freedom of the City of London beyond UK, Commonwealth of Nations and European Union citizens. This led to the possibility of a company with "international" membership. The Guild of International Bankers was founded in July 2001 and in October 2002 it became a Company of the City of London without Livery. On the 21 September 2004 it was granted Livery status by the Court of Aldermen.

The Company ranks hundred-and-sixth in the order of precedence for Livery Companies.

The coat of arms of the Guild of International Bankers

The shield of the company is blazoned "Per pale Sable and Gules a dragon rampant Argent within an orle of bezants" as far as I can see after examining the image on the website.
