AI for Banking & Financial Services Teams in Singapore

The programme is designed to align with MAS's 2025 proposed Guidelines on AI Risk Management, covering risk oversight, life cycle controls, and responsible AI use expectations. We integrate MAS FEAT (Fairness, Ethics, Accountability, Transparency) principles throughout all practical exercises and governance frameworks.

Yes. The programme is eligible for SFEC (S$10,000 per employer at up to 90% offset) and ETSS for qualifying SMEs. Additionally, MAS allocated S$100 million under the National AI Strategy 2.0 specifically for AI and quantum capabilities in the financial sector, which may support qualifying AI transformation initiatives.

Our programme covers multi-jurisdiction compliance including MAS (Singapore), OJK (Indonesia), BNM (Malaysia), and BSP (Philippines) requirements. Singapore-based institutions operating across ASEAN learn to build AI governance frameworks that satisfy the most stringent regulator while being adaptable to each jurisdiction.

All AI workflows covered in this programme comply with PDPA obligations. The Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA) imposes financial penalties of up to 10% of an organisation's annual turnover in Singapore for organisations with annual local turnover exceeding S$10 million. The PDPA requires mandatory data breach notification to the PDPC within 3 calendar days of assessing that a notifiable breach has occurred. We build PDPA-compliant data handling, consent management, and audit trails into every practical exercise.

This programme is eligible for the SkillsFuture Enterprise Credit (SFEC) providing S$10,000 per employer at up to 90% offset, and the Enhanced Training Support for SMEs (ETSS) offering up to 90% course fee subsidies. The Productivity Solutions Grant (PSG) may also cover pre-approved AI solutions at up to 50% funding.

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.
