A Strategic Mission: Empowering Skills for a Resilient Financial Sector

The ABBL is committed to helping its members:

• Anticipate future skill needs across banking, payments, compliance, and digital innovation.

• Access relevant and high-quality training programmes tailored to Luxembourg’s evolving regulatory and operational landscape.

• Build talent pipelines to support the long-term competitiveness and attractiveness of the financial centre.

We see training and upskilling not just as an HR function—but as a pillar of financial stability, innovation, and social responsibility.

This is why the sector has placed particular emphasis on training in the collective agreement signed for the 2024 -2026 period.
