Business-IT Fusion

SIS Industry Partnerships

Partnership with the Banking Industry in Singapore (Global and Regional)

SIS is working with leading organisations and executives across the Banking Industry to co-develop the SMU Banking Process Framework. This is a new and powerful way to understand how products across all segments of banking flow through their END-to-END processes in order to meet customer needs as well as bank management needs.

The SMU Banking Process Framework also provides an integrated set of "views" of banking process flows in terms of (1) Transaction Fulfillment, (2) Control, Compliance & Risk, (3) Accounting, Management & Reporting, (4) Process Performance, (5) Organisation/Sourcing, (6) Enabling Systems/Technology and (7) Total Cost of Process Execution.

How will this leading-edge SMU SIS research effort with the Banking Industry enhance your SIS experience and opportunities? It further deepens and enhances our linkages with the executives and senior managers responsible for the Processes, Operations and Technology at nearly every global and regional bank in Singapore. And that means more opportunities for our SIS students at both the Bachelor's and Master's level.

Don’t forget that every year, several SIS students get to fast-track into this programme to do both a SIS Bachelor's and Master's degree. Find out more about the MITB (Financial Services) Fast-Track here.

SIS has launched a new undergraduate specialisation option in Banking Processes and Solutions. Students going through this option will have tremendous advantage when applying for internships and full time employment in the financial services industry.
