Asian Banking School: Banking and Finance Training HRD Corp Malaysia

Asian Banking School Sdn Bhd is ASEAN’s leading specialised banking and finance training provider, registered with HRD Corp Malaysia. With over 200,000 professionals trained across 80+ financial institutions, they deliver programmes in sustainable finance, compliance, credit analysis, and capital markets. All programmes are HRD Corp claimable.

What sets them apart is the academic backing. Asian Banking School co-develops programmes with Cambridge Judge Business School, Oxford Said, INSEAD, Frankfurt School, and Bayes Business School London. That is not a typical training house curriculum. It is university-grade content built specifically for banking professionals.

Is Asian Banking School Registered with HRD Corp?

Yes. Asian Banking School Sdn Bhd is listed in the ETRIS system as a registered training provider under HRD Corp Malaysia.

Asian Banking School Training Programmes

Asian Banking School covers ten training domains, each tailored for the banking and financial services sector. They train roughly 25,000 professionals each year.

Sustainable Finance

This is a growing area as banks align with ESG mandates. Asian Banking School covers:

• ESG Integration: Environmental, social, and governance frameworks for banking
• Climate Change Finance: Risk assessment and green financing models
• Renewable Energy Financing: Structuring finance for clean energy projects

Compliance

Regulatory training is a core strength. Banks need their compliance teams updated on evolving regulations:

• AML/CFT: Anti-money laundering and counter-financing of terrorism
• Sanctions Compliance: Screening frameworks and regulatory obligations
• Forex Compliance: Foreign exchange regulations and reporting requirements

Credit and Investment Banking

These programmes target analysts and relationship managers who handle lending and deal structuring:

• Credit Analysis: Financial statement analysis, credit risk scoring, portfolio management
• Investment Banking: Deal structuring, M&A advisory, capital raising

Treasury and Capital Markets

For treasury teams and capital markets professionals working with fixed income, derivatives, and liquidity management.

Inclusive Banking

Programmes focused on financial inclusion, underserved markets, and microfinance. Relevant for banks expanding access to financial services.

Professionalism, Ethics, and Soft Skills

Banking-specific modules on professional conduct, regulatory ethics, communication, and leadership. Asian Banking School also runs language programmes for banking professionals who need to communicate across ASEAN and global markets.

Graduate Training

Structured programmes for fresh graduates entering the banking industry. These cover foundational banking knowledge and prepare new hires for their first roles.

Asian Banking School International Partnerships

The international partnerships are the key differentiator. These are not loose affiliations. Asian Banking School co-develops and delivers programmes with each institution.

This means participants get access to content shaped by global academic research, not just local industry practice. For Malaysian banks competing regionally and internationally, that distinction matters.

Who Should Consider Asian Banking School?

Banks, financial institutions, and fintech companies that need specialised training for their workforce. Consider them if:

• Your compliance team needs AML/CFT, sanctions, or forex regulatory training
• You are building sustainable finance capabilities and need ESG or climate risk programmes
• Credit analysts and relationship managers need structured development
• You want programmes co-developed with Cambridge, Oxford, or INSEAD
• Treasury teams need capital markets or fixed income training
• You are onboarding graduate trainees into the banking sector

They are not a general corporate training provider. If you need generic leadership workshops or IT certifications, look elsewhere. Asian Banking School is built for banking and finance.
