The University of Waikato in New Zealand has taken a bold step by launching its Bachelor of Banking, Finance and Technology (BBFinTech), a three-year program designed to close the gap in the country's university education.
The program's focus on open banking, digital currencies and financial technologies underscores the urgent need to prepare future professionals for the world of digital finance.
Waikato Management School professional vice-chancellor Matt Bolger highlighted that “nothing happens without digital” in today's financial world.
This statement highlights the growing importance of technology in financial operations and highlights the lack of university programs in New Zealand that effectively integrate finance and technology.
Meanwhile, the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) is investing significantly in the Financial Sector Technology and Innovation (FSTI) Scheme, with a commitment of approximately US$112 million over three years.
This investment will support advanced financial projects, including Web 3.0 solutions, further cementing Singapore's position as a global financial technology leader.
