FinTech & The Digital Transformation in Financial Services Masterclass

FinTech is breaking the financial services value chain link by link — blockchain, payments and DLT explained for the bankers in its path.

The programme

FinTech is not adding a channel to banking; it is breaking the financial services value chain link by link, with blockchain and distributed ledger technology at the front of the assault. This masterclass gives bankers a hands-on grasp of what is happening: the forces reshaping the sector, the real complexity of the payment infrastructure and its key instruments, the types of money now in circulation, and how regulatory frameworks inhibit or promote innovation. Blockchain is treated practically, through demonstration rather than slogan — including the threat cryptocurrencies pose to central banks and the risks and limitations of DLT. The cohort works through where FinTech, AI, machine learning and big data will change their own business first.

What you will do

Trace how FinTech is breaking the financial services value chain and identify where your business is exposed.
Navigate the payment infrastructure and its key instruments, including the types of money now in circulation.

Weigh the risks and limitations of distributed ledger technology (DLT) before betting on it.
Put AI, machine learning and big data to work in a bank or financial institution.
Read regulatory frameworks for what they inhibit or promote in financial innovation.
Name the biggest competitors to the financial industry and prepare your institution for the changes underway.

Who attends

  • C-level executives — CEO, CTO, CIO, COO

Cohorts bring together board members, executives and the rising leaders behind them — kept deliberately small, so every seat is a peer’s.

Frequently asked

Do I need a technology background to attend the FinTech masterclass?

No. The programme is written for bankers — C-level executives, digital banking teams, product development managers and senior marketers — and gives a hands-on grasp of what is happening rather than an engineering course. Blockchain is treated through practical demonstration and examples, not slogans, alongside the payment infrastructure, the types of money in circulation and the regulatory frameworks that inhibit or promote innovation.

How does the course treat blockchain and cryptocurrencies?

Practically and critically. Participants work through blockchain by demonstration, assess the threat cryptocurrencies pose to central banks — including the possibility of currency without one — and weigh the risks and limitations of distributed ledger technology (DLT) before betting on it.

Is the masterclass available in-house and in French?

Yes. BIZENIUS delivers the masterclass in English and French, and an in-house edition can be tailored to your institution’s exposure to FinTech disruption and its payments footprint. Sessions run on a rolling calendar with dates confirmed on request, and fees and quotations are provided on enquiry.
