The Agency Banking training course begins with the foundations, development and role of agency banking, including its contribution to financial inclusion, the principal stakeholders and the main business models within the agency banking ecosystem. It then considers the regulatory and compliance environment before progressing to agent network development. This covers agent identification, selection, recruitment, onboarding and training, alongside remuneration structures, ongoing support, liquidity considerations and the monitoring of agent performance.

The course subsequently addresses the technology and operational infrastructure supporting agency banking, including transaction processing, system integration, data security and the management of cash, float and reconciliation. Attention then turns to operational, financial and reputational risks, fraud controls, customer due diligence, anti-money laundering requirements and consumer protection. The concluding topics bring together service quality, customer complaints, network supervision and performance measurement, before examining emerging developments, innovation and the future direction of agency banking.
