By Olli Oikarinen, Business Risk Control

As I begin my master's in finance at the University of Oulu, I decided to apply for Nordea's Future Finance Professional (FFP) programme. My previous experience in anti-money laundering (AML) at Nordea KYC Services over three summers has provided a strong foundation. I've found that my analytical skills and keen interest in market dynamics have been particularly valuable on the trading floor.
