The banking industry is undergoing a dynamic development process. Not only are new service providers in the form of FinTechs entering the market as competitors or cooperation partners as a result of digitalisation, but there are also a variety of opportunities for banks. With the implementation of an omni-channel strategy, the sales potentials are adapted to the use of the various access channels in a customer-oriented manner. With flagship branches and video service consultations, personal contact with the customer can be maintained and the connection of specialists can be simplified.

In addition to commercial banks and development institutions, future employers may also include, for example, building societies, auditing companies, consulting firms and finance and controlling departments of private and public companies.
