Top 10 Executive Courses in Fintech

Financial technology (fintech) such as blockchain, machine learning and artificial intelligence are transforming financial services, everything from payments and wealth management to market price discovery. And while fintech has opened up new opportunities for incumbent financial institutions to boost their operational efficiency, capital allocation and customer acquisition, it has also increased market competition with startups that are trying to steal their lunch.

To help finance executives from both small and large firms to navigate this changing landscape, a number of the world’s premier business schools have developed fintech executive education programs. On these courses, participants will learn how to make strategic decisions that position their firm for growth, whether that’s in the insurance, asset management, banking or even real state industry.

Ultimately, executives on these programs will gain a deeper understanding of the technologies underpinning the rapid transformation of financial services, and the skills they need to harness the opportunities and safeguard against the threats posed by fintech. Here are the top 10 such courses.
