Digital Bank Strategy & Launch
Build a bank for the mobile age — or watch one take your customers.
The executive challenge
The problem this program solves
Your digital bank strategy numbers satisfy the regulator but not the market: margins compress, deposits migrate, and the cost-to-income ratio drifts the wrong way. A mispriced digital bank strategy decision does not show up in one quarter; it shows up in your cost of funding for the next five years. The programme teaches the operator's craft in digital bank strategy: reading capital, liquidity and unit economics so the next decision is yours, not your vendor's.

The IPAT Course Standard
The five-day journey
Each day is a deliberate progression in managerial capability — from strategic context, to analytical frameworks, to applied practice, to executive judgement under pressure, to a capstone that produces something your organisation keeps.
IPAT Signature Case™
The Margin That Walked
The most profitable product at a regional microfinance group has quietly migrated to instant-payment rails the institution does not own; deposits follow the customer, not the branch. The board wants a response before the next pricing cycle — and the digital bank strategy data is contested in every committee.
Your decision: Build competing rails, partner with the platform, or reprice the legacy book to defend margin — each path changes the institution you become.
IPAT Data Lab™
The digital bank strategy unit economics at a mobile-money platform work in the business case and fail in the ledger.
Dataset: Synthetic product-level revenue, cost and capital data for a mobile-money platform.
Your task: Rebuild the unit economics, stress them against rate and funding shocks, and recommend what to scale or exit.
A stress-tested digital bank strategy economics model and a board-grade summary page.
