✨ “Not everyone is as broad-minded as they should be. I wanted to make sure my companies would never fall into that trap.”  - Ali Niknam, CEO of bunq on the Money20/20 Podcast 🎙️ When Ali founded bunq, he set out to build a hiring process that leaves bias at the door and focuses solely on skills and merit. Inspired by a clever IKEA comic 🪑, he turned a simple idea into a structured, objective recruitment philosophy: ✅ Standardized assessments (like abstract reasoning tests) ✅ Merit-based evaluations ✅ Real-life skill demonstrations (“Show me what you can do”) The result? A hiring process that reflects our values of fairness, inclusivity, and innovation.

Finding, attracting, and keeping the right talent. Three parts of the same equation—but which one’s toughest to solve? Bianca Zwart discussed just that at last week’s Sifted Summit in London, UK, with 🎤 Éanna Kelly, Sifted 🎤 Karen Brandt, Chief People Officer, FINN 🎤 Elena Pantazi Read, Partner, Talent and Portfolio Development, Northzone There, Bianca revealed that bunq receives 20,000 applicants every month for about 30 vacancies. That volume helps us find the best of the best—but we’ll never compromise on culture fit. That’s why, for some roles, we accept only 1 out of every 800 applicants. And yet, as Bianca said: “If someone’s good, we’ll find a place for them.” Because at bunq, people don’t just do tasks. They own problems, and they solve them. That’s what keeps the world’s most productive bank growing—and its people thriving. 💪 Thanks to Sifted Summit for a great panel!

We talk about the future of banking every day. Now we want to hear from you 👇

Shaping the future at World Summit AI 🚀 But not a distant one—the future of banking is already here. 🔮 At this year’s World Summit AI in Amsterdam, our Engineering Lead – Special Projects, Thijs de Maa, joined an inspiring panel alongside 🎙Gerlyn Tiigemäe (Finnable) 🎙 Irin Otto (ABN AMRO Bank N.V.) 🎙 Nurtekin Savas (PayPal) Moderated by Gerlyn Tiigemäe, AI Trainer and Advisor, Finnable. Together, they explored how intelligent technologies are already reshaping the way we bank—from creating more personal experiences to redefining how financial institutions innovate responsibly. 💬 As Thijs shared: “Our philosophy is clear—we’re not just a bank with a tech wing; we’re a tech company with a banking license. Thanks to this approach, bunq became the first AI-powered bank in Europe, creating a bank people love to use.” At bunq, technology is here to empower people, not replace them. We’re proud to see our teams lead meaningful conversations that shape the future of banking—today. 🙏 Thanks World Summit AI for having us!
