Payment/Fintech cases

Hi there, 

Here are some strong resources you can use to practice cases in fintech, payments, banking, and finance ahead of your American Express interview:

Free downloadable casebooks

• NYU Stern Management Consulting Association Casebook 2015-16 (cases across sectors including finance/banking)
• University of Notre Dame Consulting Club Casebook (includes health-insurance case; you can pull finance-adjacent material)
• Free list of MBA consulting casebooks (many sectors) on CaseBasix - good for breadth and locating finance-focused ones 

How to tailor your prep for American Express

• Focus on payments, digital wallet strategy, cross-border flows, loyalty programs, fee models because these are highly relevant to Amex.
• With each case you practice, after finishing the solution ask yourself: “What would a payments firm care about? What are the revenue drivers? the margin levers? The risk/regulation elements?”

If you need help to practice, just reach out!

Hi,

You could do a search also on Preplounge for cases in that sector.

If you are looking for a coach to practice with, feel free to reach out. I have coached candidates applying to Visa/MC/Revolut and also have friends who are currently working there in a strat role.

All the best!

Feel free to check out the case library on preplounge. 

I have two cases that would be specifically relevant in this space:
