Department Overview
Our Division helps the Bank to make the best use of data and analytics to achieve that.

You can gain broad exposure to the various parts of the Bank, giving you the option to move to other roles within the Bank in future.

We have a supportive culture that empowers people to be the best they can. This culture is reflected in staff survey results.
