The Bankers Association of the Philippines (BAP) is pleased to announce the renewal of its long-standing partnership with the Ateneo Graduate School of Business Center for Continuing Education through the Ateneo-BAP Institute of Banking (ABIB) for the administration of its enhanced BAP Treasury Certification Program (TCP). This year, BAP also marks another milestone as it forged a new partnership with a leading business and executive education institution in the region, the Asian Institute of Management (AIM)-School of Executive Education and Lifelong Learning (SEELL),

The BAP, led by the BAP Open Market Committee (OMC), said that “the BAP initiative to enhance and revamp the TCP aims to upskill and reskill bankers and develop a new generation of highly analytical, technical, and ethical financial market professionals,” according to BAP OMC chairman Paul Raymond A. Favila. “The objective of the program redesign is to elevate the TCP to global best practices and international standards while ensuring the quality, professionalism, and integrity of treasury professionals in the interbank market,” Favila added

“A special team of banking industry experts worked closely with the BAP OMC to update the TCP curriculum that will enhance the baseline knowledge and developmental needs of financial markets and bank treasury professionals,” said BAP OMC TCP and Treasury Education Subcommittee chairman, Felipe Martin F. Timbol.

Beginning 2025, bank treasury personnel may obtain their Certified Treasury Professional (CTP) license from any of the two premier institutions of higher learning. ABIB and AIM- SEELL will be offering a refreshed and updated version of the BAP Treasury Certification Program (TCP).

Successful passers of the BAP TCP are accorded with a Certified Treasury Professional (CTP) certification by the BAP, a license that authorizes a dealer to trade with their counterpart traders in the interbank market. The CTP is a BAP-registered trademark with the Intellectual Property Office of the Philippines.
