What the HR round actually tests
Willingness questions
- Tell me about yourself.
- What do you know about BNY, and why do you want to join?
- Operations teams at BNY support clients across time zones, which can mean early, late or rotating shifts. Are you comfortable with that?
- What do you understand by a custodian, or by 'settlement' of a trade, at a basic level?
- Accuracy matters in post-trade operations. How do you check your own work before you submit it?
- You find a break between two records a few minutes before a cut-off. What do you do?
- A caller who is not the client asks for account information. How do you respond?
- Work like this is detail-heavy and repetitive. What keeps you focused?
- How comfortable are you with Excel?
Common red flags

- Would hide or ignore a break or mismatch to meet an SLA
- Cannot explain basic accounting or the process they applied for
- Not willing to work shifts or US / UK hours
- Clearly planning to leave within months
- No idea what the company does
