Join a Challenger
Being a traditional bank just isn’t our thing, so we challenge ourselves to get
creative in providing innovative banking solutions for Canadians.
How do we get there? With a talented team of inquisitive and agile challengers
that break through the status quo. So, if you’re passionate about redefining the
future of banking—while having fun—this could be your next big opportunity.
Our company continues to grow, and today we serve more than 670,000 people
across Canada through Equitable Bank, Canada's Challenger Bank™, and have been
around for more than 50 years. Equitable Bank's wholly-owned subsidiary,
Concentra Bank, supports credit unions across Canada that serve more than six
million members. Together we have over $125 billion in combined assets under
management and administration, with a clear mandate to drive change in Canadian
banking to enrich people's lives. Our customers have named our EQ Bank digital
platform (eqbank.ca [https://www.eqbank.ca/]) one of the top banks in Canada on
the Forbes World's Best Banks list since 2021.
Equitable Interview Process
As we continue to scale our team, candidates selected for our comprehensive
interview process may be considered for a different level — either higher or
lower — based on their interview performance. This equitable hiring approach
allows us to ensure that talented individuals from a variety of industries are
set up for long-term success within EQB’s dynamic, growing environment. Our goal
is to support candidates in building lasting careers, rather than relying solely
on perceived experience. The hiring committee will thoughtfully assess each
candidate’s skills and potential, and adjust the level of the role as needed to
create the best possible fit.
