ABOUT WIB-E
Women in Banking Exclusive (WIB-E) is a leadership community for women in Banking & Financial Services, built to help you belong, build, and become a force in financial leadership.
We believe women don’t lack capability or ambition-many lack visibility, access to opportunities, and sponsorship-enabling networks.
While women form a significant part of the workforce, rough estimates show we are only ~25% of the total banking workforce - and the numbers are even more concerning at senior leadership levels.
WIB-E has been created to transform that.
WIB-E & the UN Global Goals (SDGs)
WIB-E’s work aligns with key United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, through practical interventions within financial services.
SDG 5: Gender Equality
Increasing women’s representation in leadership by building visibility, access to mentorship, and clearer leadership pathways.
SDG 3: Good Health & Wellbeing
Supporting mental health and sustainable performance by building resilience, energy management, and recovery practices for high-pressure roles.
SDG 10: Reduced Inequalities
Reducing barriers to growth by improving access to opportunities, networks, and career insights, enabling more equitable progression within financial services.
SDG 16: Strong Institutions
Strengthening inclusive and accountable institutions by enabling more women to step into leadership roles and influence decision-making.
WIB-E focuses on practical, industry-specific interventions that strengthen both individual careers and the broader Financial services ecosystem.
