What is Foundations of Banking?

To maximize their performance, it is essential that banking professionals understand their role, the bank’s role in society and the economy, and the ins and outs of banking as a business. How does a bank operate? How do its products deliver value – and create risk?

Foundations of Banking answers these and other questions, providing participants with an overview of the banking industry as it examines how a bank earns money while managing risk, how banking products, services, and delivery channels are evolving, and how regulations aim to improve bank soundness and safety.

This course comprises three modules, each with a pre-test and post-test, and includes a set of resources that can be used during training and on the job.
