Digital Competition in Financial Services
Intermediate English University CertificateFREE
Our recommendation
A Copenhagen Business School course on Coursera that views finance through a strategy and competition lens. It examines how digitalisation, fintech entrants and big-tech platforms are changing the competitive dynamics of banking, and how incumbents respond. More analytical and strategic than hands-on — aimed at managers and strategists rather than builders.
Good for: A strategic view of how digital disruption is reshaping financial services.
Less suitable if: You want hands-on fintech skills or an introductory overview.
