NASSAU, BAHAMAS — The University of The Bahamas has announced the launch of The FinTech Regulatory Innovation Programme (UBFTRI) powered by the Cambridge Centre for Alternative Finance (CCAF) and in partnership with The Securities Commission of The Bahamas.
The FinTech and Regulatory Innovation (CFTRI) program is a 12-week, tutor-led online program delivered to financial services professionals, senior policymakers, and regulators at central banks, security agencies, and ministries of finance. Participants will learn essential concepts concerning the technologies and business models that are transforming the financial industry.
The focus of the program is on formulating evidence-based regulatory, supervisory, and policy responses to the development of financial technology.
The faculty is comprised of leading economists, lawyers, engineers, regulators, and development professionals in interactive online lectures. Each participant will be guided by an expert tutor in small tutorial groups and will be assisted in developing a capstone project that they will present in their respective organization. Previous projects have included the launch of new regulatory and market development initiatives, improvements to existing innovation offices, and the formation of inter-jurisdictional collaborations.
To date, over 1600 officials working in financial authorities, policymakers, and industry practitioners have participated and been trained through the program from 340+ organizations in more than 145 jurisdictions at the Cambridge Centre for Alternative Finance, Cambridge Judge Business School.
