Diploma in Banking Technology and Finance

This diploma combines the fields of banking and finance with computing and information technology. It is offered at Kumasi Technical University's Faculty of Business and is designed for students who want to work at the interface of money and technology. Entry is less competitive, making it an accessible option for many SHS leavers.

What banking technology and finance covers

Programmes of this kind sit at the intersection of finance and information technology. They typically cover how banks and financial institutions run, the technology that powers payments, digital transactions, and customer services, and the regulatory environment in which they operate. You build skills in financial analysis, data handling, and the use of banking software, which prepares you for roles that need both financial knowledge and technical awareness.

How hard it is to get a place

Entry to this diploma at Kumasi Technical University is less competitive than many other programmes. That means that if you meet the standard requirements for a diploma in the Faculty of Business, you have a realistic chance of being offered a place. It is still worth checking the university's published entry requirements to see whether your grades qualify.

What you can do with this diploma

Graduates of banking technology and finance programmes often go into roles within banks, microfinance institutions, fintech companies, and other financial services. Common job areas include digital banking operations, payment systems support, customer service for banking platforms, and back-office financial administration. The combination of finance and technology is also useful for further study in either field.
