I found the workshop to be highly informative and relevant to current compliance and regulatory challenges. The facilitators presented the concepts of electronic Know Your Customer (eKYC) and anti-money laundering (AML) with clarity, using practical examples that made the material easy to understand and apply.

Details

Equipping professionals to solve Africa’s financial challenges.

Financial inclusion across Africa continues to face complex and evolving challenges — from the 23% who remain financially excluded, to MSMEs that still struggle to access finance, and many users who, despite increased access, have yet to achieve meaningful financial health. Addressing these realities requires more than access alone, it demands skilled professionals equipped to solve today’s problems and design tomorrow’s solutions. In response, FinMark Trust is launching Africa’s first end-to-end Learning-to-Implementation Continuum — a comprehensive capacity-building programme that moves from foundational learning to real-world use-case development, with sustained post-learning support.

If you’re ready to be part of the solution and build practical capability that delivers impact, get in touch with us today.
