I don't completely understand why you being a certified IT professional wish to switch to Accountancy. Based on what I have been able to gather from your post is your main reason is for better job prospects at a bank ? in which case it may probably be in IT Audit.. if that is the case I would recommend you CISA.
If, However you are aiming for core accounting I'd say go for ACCA since that would be more relevant to a career in Bank (Finance/Internal audit). CIMA would be more relevant had you aimed for the manufaturing industry.
You can read through and get acquainted on the pros and cons of ACCA, CIMA , CA on a number of threads on this forum specifically dedicated for these.
