The IB Landscape sheet was one of the most valuable things so far. I had no real insight as to which teams existed — what they do, their focus, their strengths.

Significant investment into my storyline, motivation and technicals. Very valuable having Nico as a sounding board.

I would like to sincerely thank you for your IB course — with which I made it to the UBS assessment center.

The CV and LinkedIn tips were immediately actionable and helped me understand how recruiters read applications.

Just got an interview invite for UBS Frankfurt. Thank you so much.

It’s nice to track all your networking and application efforts in one organised place.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I get into Investment Banking in Switzerland?

Swiss Investment Banking recruiting prioritizes profile coherence, target/semi-target university affiliation, and timing. Start by understanding the Swiss recruiting calendar (covered in How IB Ticks), build a CV with the ACR framework, and network deliberately with bankers, not just students. The IB Starter Guide lays out the full roadmap.

Is this specific to Switzerland?

All content is built around the Swiss Investment Banking market — recruiting timelines, interview expectations, bank culture, and networking norms specific to Switzerland. Most frameworks, guides and tips can be applied across European countries.

Do I need prior finance experience?

A basic understanding of key finance terms is helpful, but not required. The Free IB Starter Guide and How IB Ticks are designed to bring you up to speed from scratch.

How long do I have access?

All courses and packs come with lifetime access — including any future updates. Coaching and mentoring programs are limited to the scope and timeline outlined in the corresponding Service Agreement.

How does coaching work in practice?

After purchase, you complete a short intake form. We then schedule a goal-setting call to align on your priorities, followed by personalized written feedback on your application materials within 5–7 business days.

Can I upgrade later?

Yes. After every purchase, you’ll receive an exclusive discount code matching your previous investment for your next NeverBanked product. The code is sent automatically to your email.

What if I already bought another NeverBanked product?

Check your email — you should have received a discount code from your last purchase. If you can’t find it, reach out to [nico@neverbanked.com](mailto:nico@neverbanked.com) and we’ll sort it out.

Which product is right for me?

Start with the IB Starter Guide — it costs nothing and gives you a clear overview. From there, the comparison table above will help you decide based on what you need.

Is there a refund policy?

For online courses, you have a 7-day money back guarantee if it’s not the right fit. For other products, there are no refunds. More details in our Terms.
