Any information about recente Business Case in financial Services of Bain?

Hi there,

Firms don’t share their actual interview cases, but Bain’s financial services work tends to center on a few recurring themes. From what candidates and clients mention publicly, the most common angles are:

• Cost transformation – big efficiency programs in banks and insurers
• Growth strategy – deciding whether to expand into new products, geographies, or digital channels
• Portfolio questions – which business lines to double down on or divest
• Risk and regulation – how capital requirements or new rules affect profitability
• Private equity style cases – evaluating whether to invest in or acquire a financial services business

So if you’re preparing, expect something like: “A large retail bank has seen profits decline—what’s driving it and what can they do?” or “A private equity fund is considering buying an insurance company—should they go ahead?” The substance will look like a normal case (profitability, market entry, M&A), but framed in a financial services context.

Happy to help you prep – feel free to reach out

Hi there,

I would be happy to share my thoughts on your question:

• First of all, Bain interviewers write their own case studies, so there’s no fixed list of case studies that get reused regularly.
• Moreover, if you want to practice authentic Bain case studies, please feel free to reach out to me directly.

You can find more on this topic here: How to succeed in the final interview round.

If you would like a more detailed discussion on how to best prepare your application files, for your upcoming Bain pre-interview assessment and/or interviews, please don't hesitate to contact me directly.

Best,

Hagen

Most interviewers will use their own cases. So every year there are hundreds of new cases... all distinct from each other.

Hi there,

Firms don’t reuse the same cases publicly and each interviewers have their own. So rather than looking for a specific “recent case,” it’s best to practice broadly across financial services topics (banking, payments, insurance, etc.) to be ready for any angle.

There's no specific 'Bain' case in that sense, if that's what you're asking. 

You can use the case library here on the website to filter for Bain cases.

Or you can also check some of my own cases that are based on MBB interviews:
