Participants had the opportunity to listen to different presentations on accounting, saving, investments and banking product roadmaps and strategies delivered by managers from the host organisation. This was followed by a networking session with a representatives from N26 over food and drinks.
N26 is a digital banking pioneer and one of Berlin’s start-up success stories.

Today, the bank has more than eight million customers in 24 markets and a team of 1,500 employees working across 10 different countries.
Michael Ferenc, Careers Service Manager at BSBI, who was the organiser of the trip, said: “This is the kind of a modern and forward-thinking employer that we like to engage with. They offer amazing insights not only into the world of banking but into the world of work and its inevitable future.”
