Singapore, 17 June 2026 — ICDL Asia and Intuition signed a collaboration agreement to launch the ICDL DigiFin Programme, a comprehensive learning solution designed to equip learners with digital competencies alongside industry-relevant financial knowledge required to succeed in today’s evolving financial services landscape and digital economy.
The signing ceremony was held at the Embassy of Ireland in Singapore, marking an important milestone in strengthening international collaboration in digital skills development and workforce readiness for the Banking, Financial Services, and Insurance (BFSI) sector.
The event was witnessed by Mr. Graham Hartnett, Deputy Head of Mission and Economic Counsellor at Embassy of Ireland to Singapore, and Mr. Patrick O’Riordan, Director of ASEAN at Enterprise Ireland, together with senior representatives from Intuition and ICDL Asia, including Mr. Niall Darby, Chief Executive – Intuition, Mr. Philip Eden, EVP Asia Pacific – Intuition, and Ms. Tina Wu, CEO of ICDL Asia, as well as other representatives from the Embassy of Ireland, Enterprise Ireland, Intuition, and ICDL Asia.
As digital transformation continues to reshape the financial services sector, organisations are increasingly seeking professionals who possess both digital skills capabilities and a strong understanding of industry practices. The ICDL DigiFin Programme has been developed to address this need by providing learners with a practical and flexible learning framework that supports career development while helping organisations build a workforce equipped for the digital economy.
“Through our collaboration with Intuition and the launch of the ICDL DigiFin Programme, we hope to give young talent an early exposure to the banking and financial services industry while helping them develop the digital competencies needed in today’s workplace. By combining digital skills with industry-relevant financial knowledge, the programme enables learners to explore potential career pathways and gain a better understanding of the opportunities available within the sector,” said Ms. Tina Wu, CEO of ICDL Asia.
Mr. Niall Darby, CEO of Intuition, added: “Digital skills are essential, but in financial services they become far more powerful when connected to real industry context. Through our partnership with ICDL Asia, Intuition is bringing its financial services expertise, Know-How library, and KHX platform to support a practical pathway from digital competence to job-ready capability. The ICDL DigiFin Programme gives learners a stronger understanding of the sector, while helping employers identify talent with verified, relevant knowledge. Together, this supports the development of a stronger, more confident talent pipeline across the region.”
At the center of Intuition’s contribution is its Know-How digital learning library, delivered through the KHX learning experience platform. For ICDL DigiFin, Intuition will curate Know-How tutorials into structured learning pathways aligned to job families across financial services. As part of the programme, learners can customise their learning journey through a combination of ICDL modules and Intuition’s Financial Services Channels, covering areas such as Fundamentals of Banking & Finance, Capital Markets, Corporate Banking, Investment Banking, Private Wealth Management, Fintech, Regulation & Compliance, ESG & Sustainability, Risk Management, Consumer Banking & Payments, Securities Services, and Investment Management. This flexibility enables individuals and institutions to tailor learning pathways according to specific career goals, workforce requirements, and industry needs.
The collaboration reflects a shared commitment to advancing lifelong learning and professional capability development across the region. By combining globally recognised digital skills certification with Intuition’s specialist financial services education, the ICDL DigiFin Programme supports learners in enhancing employability and career progression while helping organisations develop talent capable of meeting the evolving demands of the financial services industry.
ICDL Asia will continue to collaborate with education institutions, enterprises, and industry partners in supporting digitally skilled and future-ready talent development across the Asia-Pacific region.
