You have not mentioned about your educational qualifications. It is very difficult to say whether to change from banking to IT sector without knowing your qualifications. The job in a bank is a prestigious one, so think twice before you decide. The switching of career from banking to IT is a difficult one. Both are different types of jobs, so you can change your job in the banking industry itself. This will save your experience in the field also. It is up to the individual to decide about his future, but think twice before you take any decision.

Yes, you can change your carrier option. There is nothing called "LATE" if you are passionate for something.

Since, you are in Banking and you want to shift to IT industry.
So, before switching, make sure of the following points:

1. Can you make yourself to adjust in completely new environment.
2. Will you able to work on new technology.
3. Are you able to bear pressure.
4. Are you a fast learner.
5. Can you learn new technology within 2 days.
6. Are you punctual for your office time.


** If these are the things, which you can cope up with, so you can come to IT industry.

Yes, you can definitely switch from bank job to an IT job. Having professional experience will enrich your profile. It will be easy to switch to an IT job if you can pursue some global certification in the field of Information Technology. Otherwise you can switch to IT companies based on your present experience and portfolio. You can switch as a operation officer and finance officers in the IT companies.
