Why internships beat generic CS projects
Employers hiring for open banking, payments, and risk roles look for evidence: API integrations, consent flows, test coverage, and clear write-ups—not tutorial clones. A focused fintech internship gives you mentored delivery on real constraints (compliance, webhooks, reconciliation).
Skills that move your application forward
- HTTP APIs, JSON, and basic auth (OAuth2 concepts).
- One backend language (Node, Python, Java, or .NET) plus Git.
- SQL and data modelling for payments or ledger tables.
- Optional: Postman collections, OpenAPI reading, unit tests.
Our training programmes and student pathway exist to close these gaps before you apply.
