      Answer Example

      "I've followed Standard Bank's work for years and understand that you provide banking and financial services, including insurance and loans, to individuals in Africa and all over the world. You're the clear banking frontrunner among competitors within Africa, as the largest lender by assets in Africa. What is most attractive to me about Standard Bank is the emphasis you've placed over the years on sustainable development within Africa through the products and services you provide. It's of central importance to me as a banking professional to work for a company that creates value in multiple facets of society and is not simply profit-driven. Standard Bank has proven to be such a company over the years. Further, I admire the emphasis you've placed as a company on helping young professionals develop in their careers, whether that's via leadership, internships, or the CASA Training Programme."
