Which is the professional body for banks?

• A. Association of British Insurers (ABI)
• B. Personal Investment Management and Financial Advice Association (PIMFA)
• C. UK Finance
• D. Tax Incentivised Savings Association (TISA)

Answer: (C)

UK Finance acts as the trade association for the UK banking sector, serving as the voice of the banks and coordinating policy discussions, industry standards, and liaison with regulators and government. This banking focus is what sets it apart from the other groups, which represent insurers (not banks), investment management and financial advisers, or savings products and tax-incentivised schemes. Because the question asks for the professional body for banks, the organization that specifically speaks for banks is the correct choice.
