FINANCIAL SERVICES - Areas of Work
CHOOSING YOUR ROLE AND COMPANY IN FINANCIAL SERVICES Regardless of your field of study, jobs in the financial services scene are plenty and within reach. It simply takes some research into the different organisations and positions available before you decide one which is most suitable for you.
Firms in the industry
Employers include institutes that provide specialised financial services much like actuarial consultancies and underwriting, retail banks such as OCBC Bank and insurance establishments much like NTUC Income. In larger corporations, new hires tend to be placed on rotational schemes where they gain a broad understanding of the company business by experiencing a variety of work in different departments. On the other hand, joining a smaller enterprise offers more flexibility and ownership over your work, a potentially friendlier environment and exposure to senior management that could accelerate your learning. The Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) and Ministry of Finance (MOF) are regulatory bodies, ensuring compliance is observed in financial transactions and activities.
