Requirements of the role
We regulate financial services firms in the UK, to keep financial markets fair, thriving and effective. By joining us, you’ll play a key part in protecting consumers, driving economic growth, and shaping the future of UK finance services.

Open Banking is a core priority within the FCA’s 2025–2030 strategy and is central to us delivering our vision of enabling a flourishing and sustainable open banking ecosystem that drives competition, innovation and growth in the UK. It has the potential to improve outcomes for consumers and businesses by empowering them to access new and better services than they do today through consented data sharing and by introducing a scalable payment method that meets their needs, offers choice with security and trust, and improves the cost of value of payments in the UK.
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.
