Banking, insurance and financial services background image

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). Here are the top ten employers in the sector.
