Egypt Launches First AI Diploma for Banking Sector with Injaz as Delivery Partner

The Central Bank of Egypt has introduced the country’s first specialised diploma focused on artificial intelligence (AI) for the banking sector, marking a significant step in advancing fintech capabilities. The programme is being delivered in collaboration with the Egyptian Banking Institute, New Giza University, and Injaz Consulting Group.

Designed for banking professionals and industry leaders, the AI in Banking Diploma aims to provide a structured and practical understanding of AI, with a strong emphasis on governance, risk management, and real-world application. The initiative reflects the growing importance of AI as a transformative force in financial services.

The programme is hosted by the Central Bank of Egypt’s Digital Academy and is open to participants across the financial services ecosystem. To earn the diploma, candidates must complete five modules covering core AI concepts, data management, governance frameworks, risk considerations, and implementation strategies within banking environments.

The initiative aligns with the central bank’s broader fintech and innovation strategy, which seeks to position Egypt as a leading regional hub for financial technology across the Arab and African regions.

Injaz Consulting Group has been appointed as a key delivery partner through its training arm, Injaz Institute. The collaboration is formalised through a memorandum of understanding between the Central Bank of Egypt and Injaz Institute, aimed at strengthening sector-wide capabilities in AI adoption.

Industry estimates suggest that AI could generate substantial value in banking through improved efficiency, enhanced fraud detection, better credit decision-making, and more personalised customer experiences.

With this initiative, Egypt is taking a proactive approach to building AI readiness in its banking sector, focusing not only on technological adoption but also on responsible and well-governed implementation.
