“Sound basic knowledge is crucial for every bank employee. The complexity of today’s banking business means that IT staff, for example, also need to understand the essentials of the bank.”
Prof. Dr. Michael Lister, Management Team, zeb.business school
Banking for non-bankers
From Career Changer to Banking Specialist
The banking world has become more complex than ever before. Constant cost pressures, intense competition, regulatory requirements, and digital transformation demand the highest level of performance and understanding from every bank employee. This makes it all the more important to understand the fundamentals of banking management. The “Banking for Non-Bankers” seminar provides a concise and practical overview of how banks and financial markets operate. Participants will learn about the most important business models and structures in the banking context, regulatory frameworks, and fundamental management and risk concepts in the banking sector. The goal is to build a solid understanding of key relationships in the banking business—even without prior banking experience.
