Supervisory Oversight of Payment Systems and Digital Financial Infrastructure
A five-day programme on supervisory oversight of payment systems and digital financial infrastructure, covering designation and risk rating, resilience and cyber expectations, access and governance, supervisory monitoring, intervention, and coordination.
Introduction
The Supervisory Oversight of Payment Systems and Digital Financial Infrastructure Training Course prepares supervisors to oversee the rails that carry a modern economy's payments. Digital infrastructure now includes instant payment systems, card switches, wallets, and emerging digital currency platforms, and they interconnect in ways that concentrate risk. This course explains how oversight frameworks apply across that wider landscape. It covers designation, risk assessment, access, resilience, and supervisory intervention. Furthermore, it applies PFMI principles, cyber expectations, and cross-border coordination. As a result, participants oversee payment infrastructure that stays safe, efficient, and open.
