Corporate Banking Technology

1 CreditsTerm 1

Description

This course explores the corporate and institutional banking functional domain and technology, as well as the emerging non-bank FinTech alternatives. This course module begins by reviewing banking solution delivery processes and identifying the various corporate banking customer segments and their needs. These considerations are then examined in different corporate banking business contexts. In the context of corporate customer needs, the traditional product areas of corporate lending, cash management & payments, trade finance, and corporate treasury are covered. In the later part of the course, we cover institutional banking customers and products, and their role in the credit crisis of 2008 to understand what happened and the implications going forward. Finally, we will cover cybersecurity, operational and compliance risk. Emphasis is placed throughout the course on analysing real-world situations using case studies and gaining hands-on experience with banking systems.
