Zimbabwe’s introduction of the Zimbabwe Gold (ZiG) currency is a historic attempt to stabilise the economy and restore monetary confidence — and it lands just as central banks worldwide push Digital Currencies and CBDCs for innovation, financial inclusion and monetary stability. This programme equips banking and payments teams to act on both: integrating CBDCs and digital currencies into the bank’s digital strategy, designing ZiG-based digital wallets and payment solutions, and building embedded finance models that drive engagement and loyalty. Regulatory and compliance frameworks, currency risk, liquidity and alignment with RBZ monetary policy objectives anchor the programme, with case studies from Africa, Asia and global pioneers.

Frequently asked
Do I need a technical background to attend a technology or AI programme?
No. These programmes are built for the executives who decide, not the engineers who build — no code, no demo-as-strategy. Participants leave able to rank AI use-cases by economics, put governance around model risk, and interrogate a technology proposal in one meeting.
How do the programmes treat AI governance and model risk?
As a named person’s job. The curriculum covers model inventories, validation, human override and the ownership a supervisor would recognise — AI placed where it survives an audit, inside real workflows. Participants draft the governance standard their institution lacks and defend it in a capstone review.
What do the technology programmes cost?
Fees are confirmed in the proposal conversation, because delivery format, location and tailoring change the number. Apply for a seat or request the brochure; the reply — from a senior practitioner within one business day — includes dates, formats and the fee for your case.
Are the programmes available online as well as in the classroom?
Yes. Programmes run in the classroom, as live virtual cohorts, or in hybrid format, in English and French. BIZENIUS delivers from its Dubai and Bangalore offices and on client sites across 45+ countries.
