About this microcredential

In this microcredential, participants will be introduced to recent technological innovations that may affect a bank’s competitive position in lending (e.g. peer-to-peer lending) and deposit-taking (e.g. online banking). Innovations such as big data analytics, artificial intelligence, robo-advising and blockchain technology are set to shape the future of banking.

Key benefits of this microcredential

This microcredential has been designed to equip participants to:
