SEBA, an integrated bank for digital and traditional assets and licenced by the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority, has unveiled its new educational platform focusing on blockchain technology, digital assets and crypto currencies.
According to SEBA, the need for knowledge and training in this area is great among the general public, investors, companies, especially banks and other financial service providers.
The new platform, SEBAversity will provide online and offline content, including webinars.
It will also address both individuals and companies, which can have their employees trained in SAQ-compliant training on blockchain and crypto currencies.
This spans from beginners and people with first experiences to "natives" that already have a good knowledge of the industry.
SEBAversity’s academic partners include FinTech Innovation Lab of the University of Zurich, the Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Arts and the Frankfurt School Blockchain Centre.
Guido Bühler, CEO of SEBA Bank, commented: "The need for training in the areas of digital assets and crypto currencies is constantly increasing and with SEBAversity we are providing a dedicated platform for private individuals and companies with the aim of gaining knowledge in these areas. SEBAversity offers everyone access to practice-oriented expert knowledge combined with academic research, online and offline.”
Julius Baer was the first bank to launch the first series of courses for its employees in April. Earlier this year, Julius Baer introduced a new digital assets offering as a result of its partnership with SEBA.
David Schlumpf, global head learning and leadership development bank Julius Baer, said: “With this new programme, we have the great opportunity to gain insights into the world of digital assets in a tangible way.”
