// WHY THESE EXIST
Most interview practice for banks is built for the lending seats: read a business, decide on a loan. Half the bank does something else. Its operations release the money, its risk teams check what was lent, its traders and treasurers price and fund it, its financial crime teams watch where it goes, and its product teams decide how it is offered. Their interviews ask different questions, and each of these files is written for one of them.
Every file runs the same way: what the panel is testing, the case as it lands, the worked read, the ninety seconds you would say out loud, and three places the interviewer pivots. Each is free when you subscribe; the case is on its page, and the answer is in the file.
- NO. 01 · LENDING OPERATIONS · OPERATIONAL RISK · INTERNAL AUDITThe Drawdown That Went Out Early Was it one officer's mistake, or a control that does not work — and how would you find out?
- NO. 02 · TRADING · MARKET RISK · TREASURYThe Hedge That Ran Too Long Is this the right trade, what does the bank still hold once the desk has hedged it, and what would you offer instead?
- NO. 03 · FINANCIAL CRIME · COMPLIANCEThe Payments That Did Not Fit What are the grounds, do you report now or investigate first, and why did it take three alerts?
- NO. 04 · MODEL VALIDATION · CREDIT RISKThe Model Everyone Overrides Is the model still doing its job, who is right about the overrides, and what is your conclusion?
- NO. 05 · PRODUCT MANAGEMENTThe Product That Grew Too Fast Is the growth good news, which change did the damage, and what do you propose — and who decides it?
For the lending seats, the free interview case and the Banking Interview Case Pack are the place to start.
