The programme aims to bridge the knowledge gap in the financial services industry as payment technology innovations for business transactions become more demanding worldwide.

According to the statement, the Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer of NIBSS, Premier Oiwoh, said the certification was introduced to codify Nigeria’s e-payments knowledge base, determine knowledge and work experience criteria required to recognise practitioners at beginners, intermediate and advanced levels.

He further explained that the programme would create a growth roadmap for fledgling e-payment workers, including the unemployed with a desire to make a career in the electronic payments ecosystem within the banking, payments, and financial technology industry in Nigeria.

“This professional certification programme will in no doubt evolve as a specialist practice in setting the standards for e-payment expertise in e-payments and financial technology profession,” Oiwoh added.

On his part, the CIBN Registrar/Chief Executive Officer, Seye Awojobi, said the certification’s introduction was timely given the disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.

He explained that the programme, designed in an international outlook, was well-grounded in the local realities of the Nigerian e-payment ecosystem and captured the current dynamics and all aspects of the digital financial services’ practices.

“The objectives of the certification programme are to set the standards for e-payment expertise in Nigeria; foster a category of high-performing professionals in the industry and build a resilient, safe, and secured e-payment system in Nigeria,” Awojobi said.

The programme curriculum includes certified e-payment associate, for entry-level certification path for payment professionals; certified e-payment professional, for intermediate level certification path for qualified CePA; and certified e-payment specialist, for qualified CePP holder interested in the pursuit of a speciality path, he highlighted.

Awojobi also noted that to maintain a certification credential, e-payment practitioners must earn some re-certification credits over three years. Every certification will be valid for three years after its award.
