5 HAPPENINGS AICB SIGNS MOU WITH APU AICB and the Asia Pacific University of Technology & Innovation (APU) announced an academic collaboration to equip the next generation of banking-related graduates through the sharing of skills, best practices and knowledge on 8 March 2016 at APU Campus in Bukit Jalil. Under the new memorandum of understanding, upon the completion of APU s Bachelor in Banking & Finance with a Grade Point Average (GPA) of 3.0 and above, students will have an opportunity to attain professional membership with the Executive Banker certification awarded by AICB.

Depending on the outcome of the mapping process, students may be exempted from taking all the three modules in the Professional Banker qualification or only need to complete one or two modules. As AICB places significant importance on the cross-sharing of intellectual resource and technical expertise, I am certain that leveraging on both parties strengths and capabilities will allow us to explore various possible and potential collaborations to further enhance the education and training for the industry. I also believe that such collaborations will enhance our competitiveness in the global financial market, said Mr Tay Kay Luan, Chief Executive of AICB. Meanwhile, Professor Ron Edwards, Vice Chancellor of APU, said that The AICB-APU partnership provides yet another opportunity for APU students to connect with industry and prepare for professional life.
