The FinTech and Regulatory Innovation (UBFTRI) programme is a tutor-led online programme delivered to senior policymakers and regulators at central banks, security agencies and ministries of finance.

Over eight weeks, participants learn essential concepts concerning the technologies and business models that are transforming the financial industry. The focus of the programme is on formulating evidence-based regulatory, supervisory and policy responses to the development of financial technology.

Participants are taught by leading economists, lawyers, engineers, regulators and development professionals in interactive online lectures. Each participant is also guided by an expert tutor in small tutorial groups and is helped to develop a capstone project that they then present in their own organisation. Previous projects have included the launch of new regulatory and market development initiatives, improvements to existing innovation offices, and the formation of inter-jurisdictional collaborations.
