Careers & Opportunities
Working with the Association
Contributing to the banking industry
The Association relies on a small Secretariat and on specialist expertise brought in for specific pieces of work. Opportunities range from permanent roles in the Secretariat to short consultancy assignments and the supply of goods and services.
The opportunities listed here are with the Association itself. Vacancies at individual member banks are advertised by those banks directly, and applications should be made to them.

Questions
Frequently asked questions
Can I apply for a job at a member bank through the Association?
No. The Association recruits only for its own Secretariat. Member banks advertise and manage their own vacancies, so applications should be made directly to the bank concerned.
Do you accept speculative applications?
Appointments are made through open, competitive processes for advertised roles. Speculative applications are not usually retained.
Can a firm submit a bid for a consultancy?
Yes, unless the listing states that it is open only to individuals. The terms of reference set out who is eligible and what must be submitted.
Will I be told the outcome of my application or bid?
Shortlisted applicants and bidders are contacted. The listing may state how and when the outcome will be communicated to others.
Someone has asked me to pay to secure a role. What should I do?
Do not pay. The Association never charges for applications or appointments. Report the request to the Secretariat and, if you have lost money, to the police.
