WHY YOU NEED PAYMENT AND BANKING TRAINING

Making decisions related to payments and banking requires specialised knowledge, yet the people handling these responsibilities often lack proper training.

Financial education typically excludes core areas such as risk, user experience, data security, alternative payment methods, technology, integrations, compliance, and operational impact.

Our Global Payments and Banking Expert Courses are EU certified and cover all aspects of payments and banking, from the history of banking and regulatory foundations to current FinTech structures and payment innovations. This knowledge supports informed decision making around international money transfers, internal flows, provider selection, and long-term operational stability.

The Institute has also developed the Soltesz Payment Framework, which has supported more than one thousand companies in improving payment flows, reducing fees, lowering risk exposure, and removing cash flow bottlenecks.

Payment and banking affect every part of a business. A structured strategy supports stronger operations, better control, and sustainable growth. This training builds a clear understanding of how banks think and how money moves securely, efficiently, and cost-effectively.
