Foundations of Banking and Financial Services

Banking and financial services are among the most vital pillars of any economy. If you are working in either of these sectors, it is essential for you to appreciate how the economy of a nation functions (from a banking point of view), how international trade works; how what and why consumers, businesses, and governments need and use credit and loans; what are payment processing systems; what are the capital markets and how do they function; what compliance, anti-money laundering (AML), know your customer (KYC) and international regulations are all about; and, much more.
