what was your background prior to joining fintru?
I graduated with a Bachelor of Laws with Honours in July 2019. Following that I had a temporary position in a legal practice.

how has fintru supported you during your career development?
FinTrU heavily supported my move from a KYC project to a Legal project. They have always encouraged me to take the next step, such as applying for my IOC 2 exam and taking on more responsibility in the projects I’m working on.
Why would you recommend a career at FinTrU?
I would recommend FinTrU because they enable staff to take the next career step. The culture at FinTrU is welcoming and have like-minded people working towards the same goal.
What advice would you give to someone who is planning on a career with FinTrU?
Don’t worry about what experience you have, be open-minded about possible projects and take any opportunity that comes your way.
