Advice for this firm

  • Know what BNY is: the world's largest custodian, looking after about $60 trillion of investors' assets. It isn't a high-street bank.
  • Its in-house AI platform, Eliza, and the move to a 'platform operating model' are good talking points for 'why BNY'.
  • Entry grades (BCC) are lower than at most investment banks, which makes BNY a strong option to add to your list.
  • Most apprentices join operations, technology or client service teams. Think about which fits you before applying.
