After becoming the IFS School of Finance in 2006, the institute was granted taught degree awarding powers (TDAP)[6] by the privy council in 2010.

The institute's activities remain unchanged but, as a result of the constitutional change, LIBF Limited lost the right to use the title 'University' or 'University College'.

[9] The ongoing educational charity, now known as the London Foundation for Banking & Finance (LFBF) continues to award Chartered Banker status and to carry out the institute's various charitable activities.

[12] LIBF's Abu Dhabi office provides education and training to the banking and finance sector in the Gulf Council Countries, and the Middle East and North Africa region.

ADGMA and LIBF have set up a learning centre to provide education in banking and financial services to young Emirati professionals.

[14] LIBF APAC is based in Singapore where it works in partnership with the International Chamber of Commerce Academy [15] and the Institute of Banking and Finance.

The scope of the centre's work is global and addresses the interests and concerns of market participants including commercial and development banks, investors, governments, corporations or regulators.

The Foundation has funded scholarships for the full-time undergraduate programme, as well as learning resource provision, including the Henry Grunfeld Library at the campus in Lovat Lane.

It brings together research and commentary on the structure and development of the domestic and international financial services sector and the wider economy and is distributed to students, members and subscribers.
