Inside BFSI: Structure, Challenges, and Technology

The BFSI sector in one view

This Coursera course maps the banking, financial services and insurance sector, covering market segmentation, key players and the regulatory framework that governs them. It then turns to the technology shaping the sector, including digital payments, insurtech, and AI and machine learning in banking.

Who it suits

Learners entering financial services, and professionals who need to understand how technology is changing the sector, will both benefit. It is pitched at a beginner level and gives a broad orientation rather than deep technical training.

Key topics

• Bank regulation and regulatory compliance across the sector.
• Fintech, digital transformation and the emerging technology agenda.
• Risk, fraud detection and cybersecurity considerations.

The skills list also reaches into blockchain, making the course a broad survey that connects regulation with technology change.
