Requirements of the role
The role of the Panel
The Panel is established under statute and is independent of the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA). It represents the interests of consumers of financial services (including small business consumers) to the FCA. Its vision is for financial services markets to work well for consumers. Its role is to ensure that the consumer interest is considered as part of the FCA’s policy development and implementation.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.

They engage directly with the FCA at all levels, including the Chair, CEO and Executive Committee, to help shape the regulator’s policies, rules and responses to emerging issues that affect financial services consumers and small businesses.
