Frequently asked questions
Which finance and insurance companies sponsor UK visas?
Banks, insurers, asset managers, accountancy firms and fintechs all hold sponsor licences here. Filter the live register to financial and insurance activities to see which are recruiting.
What visa do I need to work in finance in the UK?
The Skilled Worker visa covers most finance and insurance roles, which need a licensed sponsor and a salary at or above the going rate for the occupation. Pay in finance is often well above the minimum, so many roles clear the bar comfortably.
