National Bank Financial · Investment banking analyst · Summer Analyst / Analyst

One-way video screen

A recorded, one-way video screen with timed behavioral prompts

What they actually ask

The question shapes this round uses. Larpy does not read these out. It builds each one from your own resume, because the generic version is the one you have already rehearsed.

“Tell me about yourself, or walk me through your resume.”
“Why investment banking?”
“Why National Bank?”
“Tell me about a time you worked on a team.”
“What is a strength you would bring to the desk?”

What this round is judged on

Motivation · a specific 'why National Bank' and 'why banking'
Communication · concise, structured answers under a timer
Background fit · a credible resume walk at the analyst level
Presence · composure and energy to camera with no interviewer

What happens in each stage›

Application: Online via jobs.bnc.ca or your university career centre; resume and cover letter. Networking with bankers materially helps in a small market. Montreal roles commonly expect French and English.
One-way video screen: Reported as part of the funnel: recorded, timed behavioral prompts. National Bank does not publish its interview stages, so this is candidate-reported and may be a short live screen in some cycles.
First-round interview: About 30 to 45 minutes, often one analyst or associate plus a VP. Fit-weighted, with light technicals and questions about your prior work.
Superday / final: Several back-to-back interviews with senior bankers, in Montreal or Toronto. Still fit-heavy, with a firmer technical bar and strong emphasis on markets awareness and culture.
Offer: Decisions weight fit and a genuine reason for National Bank heavily.
