"It’s where innovation happens” — Georgia, Greece
The EBA is a place where innovation is always at the forefront. As a senior project portfolio manager in the IT Department, I oversee a wide range of IT initiatives: from new projects and investments to the creation of new products, applications, and tools.
Contrary to the common perception that the EBA is solely focused on banking matters, our work covers a broader spectrum of public service. We are involved in various areas that have an impact on the European financial system and beyond.
We are driven by innovation and constantly explore new technologies and approaches. We enjoy the intellectual challenge and the opportunity to be creative. We never settle for the status quo.
As technology evolves rapidly, we adapt and improve accordingly. We are dedicated to pursuing new ventures and staying abreast of the latest trends. By challenging ourselves, we are ready for growth.
Flexibility and collaboration are high among our EBA values. We work as a real team motivated by the fact that our IT projects have significant implications across Europe.
We operate in an environment where bureaucracy does not hinder action. We encourage open communication and constructive feedback, fostering a culture where goals are achieved effectively.
“It’s more than a regular job” — Dragan, Slovenia
I'm in the stress testing team, where we look at what would happen to banks if there were to be a downturn. I like the job as we're very objective. Our analysis is independent and we want to do it in the best possible way. And with the best possible result.
But what really drives me is the people. It’s a friendly environment. You like to come to work because you know you want to see your colleagues.
I was a semi-pro basketball player, so teamwork is the most important aspect for me, especially since the agency is not that big. We are all ready to help, solidarity and trust are true at the EBA.
There is a flat structure, you communicate directly with the Chairperson or the Executive Director, both in meetings or when you meet in the cafeteria. We’re all on first name basis and this doesn't happen often in other jobs or companies.
The EBA is big on training, learning and career development. I'm currently doing a PhD in climate economics, and I'm fully supported by the EBA. That's another great benefit.
“It’s where statistics meet storytelling” — Angela, Italy
I'm a statistician and I ensure that our data is accurate, consistent and reliable. A big part of my job is presenting large sets of complex data in clear and engaging format through data visualisation.
In this area, creativity is the key. Using visual aids effectively isn’t just about showing data, it’s about making it meaningful. Our interactive tools bridge the gap between raw numbers and the stories they tell. It’s where statistics meets storytelling.
It’s good to be part of the EBA as an EU Agency and contribute to the EU financial stability. Knowing that I'm contributing to this objective and helping people in Europe makes me feel proud.
What truly amazes me is the positive atmosphere and shared values here. We’re a diverse team—statisticians, lawyers, economists—from all over Europe, each bringing our own unique cultures, and backgrounds. This diversity enriches our work and makes this place special.
In our office, everyone knows each other and we are always available to new joiners.
Here, I’m not just another number. I’m part of something bigger, and that makes all the difference.
