New BA in a Bank
Hi All,
I'm recently got a offer from a bank as a BA for there IT division.
Even though I have a very limited understanding of how banking business works or how many types of businesses any bank would have, I still require some study to be done before I join them.
My first project would be a anti money laundering system, I have read some articles about it for my understanding.
Please can any one here give some hints or sites where I can learn more information about banking sector business processes.
Help would be highly appreciated.
Regards,
RE: New BA in a bank
After almost 10 years in the telephony industry, I moved last year to a large financial institution. Your research approach is really going to be your best bet and there are many many articles on the internet to help you learn. Though all banks march to the same types of mandated compliance - you'll see that we all do things very differently in our approach to application development. My employer tends to be quite conservative and that can have advantages and disadvantages. The American Banker web site can provide a great deal of information about current trends/issues/compliances and may even give you some insight into your prospective employers culture. The American Banker is quite expensive though - so if you don't have the means try and find someone at your local IIBA chapter who is also in the banking industry and utilize their experience. This industry tends to be a small community of people and you just might find someone who is a current/past employee.
