Belgian Banker Academy

About

Belgian Bankers Academy (BBA) is a non-profit association incorporated under Belgian law. BBA strongly contributes to the development of the banking, financial and insurance sector, including the micro finance sector, in Belgium and internationally.

BBA was established in 1997 by the Belgian Banker’s Association (now Febelfin) to serve its international and non-member clients.

BBA is based on a solid structure which is managed by its CEO, Frédéric LERNOUX, and mobilizes the expertise of more than 300 Belgian and international experts, operating as independents or as senior managers of Belgian banks, who contribute each within their domain of competence to the projects that BBA implements. Because of the diversity and high quality of expertise on which BBA can rely, it can submit technical proposals with a high added value that largely meet the specific needs of each beneficiary. Furthermore, BBA can rely on its expertise, and capitalises on its experience when intervening in projects designed to install tools encouraging the creation and development of small and medium-sized enterprises (financing the missing middle) and ensuring their management.

The BBA activities are divided into 4 business lines: Audit and Consultancy; Training; Simulations ; Private Sector Development.
