About

Get ahead of the FinTech revolution with New Zealand's first specialist FinTech degree.

Why study the Bachelor of Banking, Finance and Technology?

This specialist degree will equip you for a career in the cutting-edge world of fintech, where new technologies like blockchain, artificial intelligence and crytpocurrencies are shaking up the banking and finance sectors.

You will gain expertise in financial markets, digital finance, banking operations, automated trading, as well as blockchains, cryptocurrencies, cybersecurity, impact investing, and more.

At Waikato, our lecturers have international expertise in this field, and degree content will be continuously refreshed to ensure it remains up-to-the-minute.

In the last decade, the digitisation of global financial systems has led to the meteoric growth of new technologies such as blockchain and cryptocurrencies (eg. Bitcoin).

Discover how these innovations are transforming the way that people exchange financial data to pay for goods and services directly from their phone, transfer funds, borrow money, and even make financial investments with apps like Sharesies.

There are diverse career opportunities in the world of fintech for our graduates.

These include startup businesses disrupting the sector, retail/investment banks, consulting firms, large organisations with finance teams, and central banks like RBNZ that develop policies and regulate digital currencies.
