Amsterdam, September 1st - The global fintech and payments industries are evolving at unprecedented speed, creating both opportunity and complexity for professionals and businesses alike. To help companies stay ahead and empower their teams, PaymentGenes has relaunched its PaymentGenes Academy - a proven learning platform designed by industry experts to give professionals practical skills they can apply immediately in their roles.
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. Whether adapting to open banking, account-to-account payments, or changing regulatory landscapes, companies need teams who can connect the dots and turn complexity into opportunity. PaymentGenes Academy bridges this gap with courses tailored for real-world impact.
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 and strong endorsements from alumni.
PaymentGenes Academy courses are created by payments professionals for payments professionals, combining deep industry expertise with proven learning strategies. Every module is designed to be directly relevant to the challenges and opportunities participants face in their roles, ensuring that learning is both comprehensive and immediately applicable. Course content is regularly reviewed and refined to keep pace with industry developments, while new modules are added to explore emerging topics in greater depth - from evolving payment technologies to changing regulatory requirements.
Organisations investing in team learning often see ROI in the range of 200% or more - underscoring the real financial and operational value of well-designed L&D. The Academy helps companies strengthen team capability, improve payment operations, and foster innovation - without the high cost and disruption 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, Head of PaymentGenes 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. 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.”

Fintech growth stalls not because of tech or talent, but because teams lack shared payment knowledge. Embedding Payment IQ across functions turns misalignment into momentum, faster decisions, and stronger customer outcomes.
