""Not because it would lead to a specific job or boost my CV," she tells Fortune. "I just wanted to do something I genuinely enjoyed. In a world focused on clear career paths and practical choices, it felt like a refreshing thing to do.""
""You're making money out of other people's money, so clients without large accounts are treated as "irrelevant" and those with money to their name are hounded.""
Bianca Zwart studied Spanish out of genuine interest, which unexpectedly opened a bank job due to multilingual demand. A 2015 summer role exposed her to industry practices where clients with small accounts are treated as irrelevant while wealthier customers are pursued. She discovered Bunq after a stand-up, joined in 2016, and advanced rapidly from frontline support to chief strategy officer. She launched ventures and led PR and teams before returning to Bunq in 2022 after exits. Alongside founder Ali Niknam, Zwart helped scale Bunq to over 700 employees and 17 million European users, with U.S. expansion planned.
