Fitch Learning, a leading US-based financial education provider, has completed its acquisition of Moody’s Analytics Learning Solutions (MALS) and the Canadian Securities Institute (CSI), creating a combined entity serving over 92,000 finance professionals in 148 countries.

MALS, a global provider of credit and digital learning, and CSI, a leading provider of certifications for the Canadian financial services industry, bring deep expertise and established learning technologies to Fitch Learning’s global portfolio.

“This acquisition is about creating more opportunities for growth – for organizations and for individuals,” said Andreas Karaiskos, CEO of Fitch Learning. “By combining both organizations’ deep expertise and learning technologies, we’re enabling our clients to build future-ready teams and helping finance professionals gain the skills that matter most in today’s fast changing markets.”

The merged business will offer an expanded suite of financial education solutions, including commercial and consumer banking, credit risk, wealth and investment management, investment and corporate banking, professional skills, and data analytics and AI. While the MALS brand will be retired, its solutions will be integrated into Fitch Learning’s portfolio. The CSI brand will continue to provide globally recognised certifications and designations.

“We are proud to mark this transformative milestone for Fitch Learning, our clients, and learners across the financial services sector,” Karaiskos added. “Acquiring MALS and CSI isn’t just an expansion for us – it’s about building a global talent offering to deliver high impact outcomes for our clients.”

By uniting these three organisations, Fitch Learning aims to move beyond traditional learning methods, delivering personalised and innovative experiences designed to future-proof finance careers.
