Do banks force analysts to get MBA to become associates?

TLDR: Title. 

Context: I heard certain banks only consider their analysts for associate promotion if they get an MBA. I was wondering about the validity of this claim and as a follow up, do banks pay for their analysts to get MBAs similar to consulting.
