In the world of business, knowledge is the only capital that cannot be lost. Investment in education
guarantees long-term profit. Aware of a need for constant improvement, BBI Bank established the BBI
Academy. We organize more than 40 seminars every year to educate our employees. Lecturers and
instructors are experts and university professors with worldwide recognition. For example, Nobel Prize
Laureate, Professor Muhammad Yunus was a BBI Academy lecturer.
Primarily founded for the education of BBI employees, BBI Academy and its prestigious lecturers also
attract domestic economists and conventional bankers. The focus of BBI Academy is education in Islamic
economics and banking, the fastest growing segment of global finance. The popularity of Islamic finance
was driven into focus by the global economic crisis in 2008 that also impacted Bosnia and Herzegovina.
For this reason, BBI Academy seminars have been attended by representatives of Banking Regulatory
Agencies and the Central Bank of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
BBI Academy also introduces principles of ethical banking—the foundation of Islamic finance—to
professionals from Southeast Europe’s banking sector and those who prefer such principles in banking.
The impressive growth of Islamic banking and finance globally has opened a new space to employ young
professionals educated in this area. BBI Academy s the best way to enter the ethical world of Islamic
finance.
