Classroom cohorts in Nairobi, Mombasa, Kisumu, Naivasha, Machakos · live online · in-house anywhere in Kenya
Mobile money, digital lending and instant payments have changed how people save, borrow and transact, and incumbents that ignore the shift risk losing customers to more agile competitors. Over five days you trace the evolution of digital finance and the business models of payment platforms, neobanks, digital lenders, insurtech and wealthtech providers. Sessions cover payment rails, mobile money ecosystems, APIs and open banking, then blockchain, smart contracts, digital assets and central bank digital currencies. You also examine data analytics and AI in credit scoring and fraud detection, cybersecurity threats, data protection and regulatory sandboxes.
Case studies from African and global markets show which innovations scaled, which failed and why regulation and trust mattered. Group work asks you to assess a fintech opportunity or partnership for your organization and outline an implementation roadmap with risks and controls. Bankers, insurers, SACCO and microfinance staff, regulators, IT and product teams, investors and entrepreneurs will all find relevant material. You return able to evaluate fintech solutions critically and contribute to digital strategy discussions with confidence and a shared vocabulary.
