Banking, insurance and financial services
This sector covers all aspects of finance other than accountancy, investment banking and investment management. Some are specialist and niche, while others cover multiple specialisms. If you’d rather be a watchdog than watched over, there are graduate opportunities with the Prudential Regulation Authority (PRA) at the Bank of England and the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA).
Across the top ten this year there has been considerable movement in the ranks, with the Bank of England bounding from fifth to first place and American Express, Barclays, HSBC and Lloyds Banking Group all moving places. There are also two new entrants to the list: Capital One and the London Stock Exchange Group.
