Overview
What this challenge is about.
Capital Adequacy for a Neobank Expansion. Advanced challenge in analysis. Analyzing real datasets and building models that drive decisions, earn a blockchain...
The Brief
What you'll do, and what you'll demonstrate.
How should N26 structure its capital to meet Basel III requirements while expanding into a higher-risk emerging market?
This is not a data exercise. It is the work an analyst does when stakeholders need answers from messy data. That distinction matters to every hiring manager who has seen candidates describe statistical methods and none who have extracted insight from messy, real-world data.
When you finish, you will have something most graduates do not: a real-world deliverable, verified by Ewance, that you can show to a hiring manager and say "I did this. Here is the proof."

- Apply Basel III capital adequacy framework to a real bank expansion scenario
- Calculate risk-weighted assets for credit, operational, and market risks
