Description
FNB is recruiting for roles in private wealth, financial crime and community banking, giving applicants with different banking backgrounds several career paths to consider. The available FNB Jobs South Africa include a Private Wealth Advisor position, two Financial Crime Officer-1 openings and an FNB Community Advisor Pipeline role. The Private Wealth Advisor vacancy is suited to an experienced financial-services professional who can work with private clients and meet the relevant regulatory requirements. The Financial Crime Officer role is more specialised, with work involving transaction monitoring, sanctions screening, investigations and regulatory requests. The Community Advisor position is focused on customer service, sales support and helping clients use FNB’s banking solutions and digital channels.
These roles should be approached differently when preparing an application. Wealth applicants need to show advisory and regulatory experience, financial-crime candidates should highlight AML, monitoring or investigation work, and Community Advisor applicants should focus on customer service, sales and relationship-building experience. The vacancies also have different closing dates, so check the official FirstRand listing for the position you want before submitting your application.
