AI for Banking & Financial Services Teams

Yes. We tailor content to cover both conventional and Islamic finance contexts. For Islamic banking teams, we include examples around Shariah-compliant product design, Islamic finance regulatory requirements, and AI applications specific to takaful and sukuk processes. Our facilitators have experience with both conventional and Islamic financial institutions across Malaysia, Indonesia, and the broader ASEAN region.

All hands-on exercises use synthetic, anonymised data sets that mirror real financial services data patterns without exposing any actual customer information. We can also work within your secure environment if needed. For organisations with strict data governance, we offer an on-premise delivery option where all tools and data remain within your network.

We cover the AI and technology risk guidelines from MAS (Singapore), OJK (Indonesia), BNM (Malaysia), BSP (Philippines), BOT (Thailand), SFC and HKMA (Hong Kong), and SBV (Vietnam). Content is localised to the regulatory environment most relevant to your institution. We also cover cross-border considerations for regional financial groups.

Absolutely. Module 1 (Foundations) is designed for all participants, but modules 2-5 can be attended selectively. For example, your risk team might focus on Credit Risk and Fraud Detection modules, while compliance teams attend the Regulatory Compliance module, and customer-facing teams attend the CX module. Module 6 (Roadmap) brings everyone together. We'll help you design the right attendance plan during the customisation phase.

For maximum hands-on learning, we recommend 12-25 participants per cohort. For larger teams, we run multiple cohorts. The programme works best when participants come from different departments (risk, compliance, operations, customer-facing) so cross-functional conversations happen naturally.
