EB/BB Analysts London - does your bank cover CFA fees?

Hi Monkeys,

As in the title, does your bank cover the costs related to CFA qualification?

I know that it is not required to work in IB, but saw that plenty of people do have it, hence considering it. Being able to do it for free (if bank covers it) would be an additional incentive.
