Why bunq Hires for Culture, Not Experience | bunq’s Chief Strategy Officer, Bianca Zwart

Bianca Zwart, bunq‘s Chief Strategy Officer, emphasizes the importance of company culture in their operations. At bunq, culture takes precedence over experience. Bunq prioritize finding people who match their vibe rather than just their resume and Bianca believes that a strong culture motivates employees to perform well without constant oversight.

She also mentions that bunq doesn’t follow traditional career paths. Some employees come in to tackle specific issues and move on, while others grow with the company. Bianca describes her own path as a “boomerang” — she left bunq for a bit but returned, and there are around 30 others like her who did the same, highlighting strong connections within the company.

Ultimately, bunq seeks problem-solvers. If you’re someone who approaches challenges like bunq, you’ll likely fit in, regardless of your career stage. Bianca’s insights offer a refreshing perspective for building teams and culture in fintech, focusing more on shared values than rigid career paths.
