What's the best way to transition from consulting into banking

Have been working in management consulting for nearly two years, plan was to get promoted then try and get into banking. Is this even possible or is my best bet to try post MBA or MF? If it is possible should I target things like off-cycle internships or entry level analyst roles. I never interned in IB but I did in Asset Management. Would appreciate any thoughts.
