PaymentGenes Academy powers skills in payments and fintech landscape
PaymentGenes has relaunched its PaymentGenes Academy – its hub and platform that empowers payments and fintech professionals with practical and industry-specific knowledge.
Amsterdam-headquartered PaymentGenes is an international operating consultancy company specialised in the payments and fintech sectors. The firm has now relaunched its learning & development services after a major upgrade to its initial version of 2023.
The Academy helps companies strengthen the capabilities of their teams, both in the standing business and as part of change/transformation programmes, and supports the re-skilling of staff to boost payment operations and foster innovation – without the high cost of recruiting new talent.
“From open banking to account-to-account payments, change is constant – and knowledge is your best advantage,” said Jeroen van Dijk, partner at PaymentGenes and Head of the Academy. “Our goal is to make education practical, engaging, and relevant, so participants can use what they’ve learned to innovate and succeed in their roles immediately.”
Foundation Course
The Academy’s flagship Foundation Course blends self-paced eLearning with interactive check-in sessions, ensuring participants can absorb concepts at their own pace while benefiting from personalised guidance. The program’s 10 modules cover the end-to-end payments landscape, helping participants build confidence and apply new knowledge directly to their work.
Over 600 professionals from leading banks, fintechs, and merchants have already completed the course, with consistently high satisfaction scores, noted Van Dijk.
“By combining self-paced e-learning with interactive check-in sessions for teams, we ensure companies get maximum value for money, delivering both flexibility and collaborative learning that drives real results.”
In the coming period, more trainings and courses will be added to the curriculum. The Academy also supports in-house learning programmes.
“With the pace of innovation and regulation in financial services, understanding the payments ecosystem is no longer optional – it’s a prerequisite for making informed decisions, spotting opportunities, and staying competitive. Companies need teams who can connect the dots and turn complexity into opportunity – our Academy bridges this gap with courses tailored for real-world impact.”
