FinTech has moved from talk of the town to a structural fact: internet- and smartphone-enabled innovation — from AI to cryptography — is redrawing financial services, and banks that cannot read the landscape end up reacting to it. This BIZENIUS masterclass simplifies digital payments, FinTech and innovation in the digital banking space. The cohort maps the key players, products and trends, works through the digital payments ecosystem and solutions for emerging and mature markets, and examines PSD2 and the regulatory challenges FinTech poses. It then turns to distributed ledger technology: types of blockchains, smart contracts, crypto asset classes and their risks, and the governance, liability and data questions that come with adoption.

Frequently asked
Do these programmes cover the Basel III final reforms and the ICAAP/ILAAP cycle?
Yes. The BIZENIUS banking curriculum is built around the Basel III endgame, ICAAP, ILAAP, IRRBB, IFRS 9 provisioning, stress testing and BCBS 239. Participants leave able to quantify the output floor on their own portfolios, write capital and liquidity documents that withstand supervisory review, and defend the numbers to their board.
Are the programmes adapted to regional supervisors such as SAMA, CBUAE or BCEAO?
Casework is built around supervisory documents rather than textbook theory, and faculty include former practitioners who have sat on both sides of an examination. Programmes address the questions SAMA, CBUAE, BCEAO and other home regulators actually put to the desk, and an in-house edition can be tailored to a single jurisdiction.
How do I secure a seat on a banking programme?
Apply for a seat or request the brochure from the programme page. A senior practitioner — not a sales team — responds within one business day, and the brochure arrives with that reply. BIZENIUS runs on enquiry: there is no online checkout.
Can a programme run in-house for our bank?
Every BIZENIUS programme can be delivered in-house, tailored to your balance sheet, your regulator and your data, in English or French. Many institutions start with an open cohort, then commission a private edition for the wider team.
