Interest rate benchmarks sit under almost every financial contract, and the retirement of LIBOR forced institutions to re-negotiate commitments, re-plumb systems and re-think how funding, trading books and risk are managed. This masterclass gives participants working command of the alphabet of reference rates — from IBORs to risk-free rates such as SOFR — and the mechanics that make transition hard: spread adjustments, term-rate construction and the migration of legacy deals. The cohort works through the effect on the derivative markets and interest rate option products, corporate lending linked to the new RFRs, accounting implications, conduct and operational risk frameworks, and the project management that separates orderly transitions from expensive ones.

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.
