During the early stages RB & STC was highly concentrated on rural banking oriented training programmes. However, during the latter stages it has been successful in extending its services to the corporate banking sector as well as to the selected private sector financial institutions. In order to further meet the long term training needs of the banking and the financial sector in a more productive manner, the college was moved to its new premises at Rajagiriya on 20th December, 1986. Similarly, considering the present and the future role of the college the Monetary Board of the Central Bank decided to rename it as the Centre for Banking Studies (CBS) with effect from 21st December 1998. During its journey of 31 years, CBS has been a strategic partner in providing life-long learning opportunities for financial sector professionals in Sri Lanka and other Central Bankers in the region. Also as a Centre of Excellence, CBS has helped financial sector institutions and corporates to develop their human capital to create competitive advantage through people.
