Featured Insights on Banking and Finance
Responding to Change in the Banking Sector
Due to crises, globalization, digitalization, and increased regulation, banking has undergone structural shifts. While banks still focus on core functions—financial intermediation, payments, and risk services—new technologies such as AI, robotics, and blockchain are reshaping operations. Today's financial institutions must address customer behavior shifts, tightening compliance demands, and growing pressure for sustainable and transparent practices. Aalto EE supports clients in navigating these changes by designing training solutions that combine the latest domestic and international research with the practical expertise of professionals who understand the realities of the financial industry.
To support regulatory compliance, we offer the Financial Specialist Competence Test (Rahoitusasiantuntijan osaamiskoe), which helps organizations verify that employees possess the necessary, up-to-date knowledge of credit products, responsible lending, and financial regulation. The exam includes annual assessments to ensure continued competence.
Focus Areas: AML, KYC, and Sanctions Compliance
Know Your Customer (KYC) and Anti-Money Laundering (AML) regulations are central to modern banking. Institutions must ensure proper customer due diligence and monitor transactions to prevent money laundering, terrorism financing, and violations of international sanctions. Aalto EE's training supports organizations in maintaining strong internal controls and up-to-date expertise in these critical areas. Our seminars and online courses on these topics are widely used by financial institutions to strengthen internal capabilities and to demonstrate compliance and staff competence to regulators.
Evolving Payments and Open Banking
PSD2 regulation has introduced new third-party providers (PIS, AIS) and strong customer authentication requirements, and payment services are rapidly transforming. Card payments, contactless transactions, mobile apps, and alternative methods such as cryptocurrencies and blockchain are reshaping the payments landscape. Our courses help professionals understand this evolving environment and navigate future developments.
