The FX and money markets transact trillions of dollars a day, and their scale, speed and apparent diversity create confusion this programme is built to sweep away. It provides a firm grounding in the instruments and activities of the international money and FX markets — spot, forward and options across major and minor currencies — and treats FX, money markets and derivatives as the integrated system they are. Mastering the mechanics and uses of these instruments opens genuine opportunities for arbitrage, hedging and risk management for corporate treasury functions, commercial banks and asset managers. The cohort also works through the liquidity characteristics and risks of different instruments and funding strategies.

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.
