The Bank of America HireVue is the video interview stage of BofA's 2027 London hiring process, following the online assessment. You'll record answers to behavioral and technical questions on camera — technology roles add a coding challenge. Prepare your stories and technical points before opening the link, because once it starts, the clock runs.
This guide covers the 2027 intake at Bank of America — applications open in 2026 and are reviewed on a rolling basis, so applying early gives you the strongest chance. Confirm exact dates on Bank of America's official careers page.
Bank of America HireVue: The Online Assessment Comes First
Before HireVue, most candidates sit an online assessment covering:
- Numerical reasoning: interpreting charts and data under time pressure
- Verbal reasoning: drawing conclusions from written passages
- Logical reasoning: pattern recognition and sequencing
Practice timed and untimed — these tests filter out a large share of applicants, and unprepared strong candidates fail them every cycle. Don't treat this stage as a formality; it's on our most common Bank of America application mistakes list for a reason.
Bank of America HireVue: Question Formats
The HireVue typically includes:
- Behavioral questions: "Tell me about a time you led a team," "Describe a conflict you resolved," "Why Bank of America?" Use the STAR structure — situation, task, action, result — and keep each answer under two minutes.
- Technical questions: These skew toward your division: valuation, accounting, and deal questions for Global Banking; market views and trade ideas for Global Markets. If you're unsure which division fits, read our guide on which Bank of America 2027 program is right for you before preparing.
- Motivational questions: Why this bank, why this division, why this role. Specific beats generic — cite real BofA activity.
Bank of America HireVue: The Coding Challenge
For Global Technology & Operations roles (and some quantitative positions), the process includes a coding challenge — typically algorithmic problems under a time limit. Practice data structures and algorithms in your strongest language, and talk through your approach out loud: clear reasoning matters as much as the final solution.
How to Prepare for the Bank of America HireVue
- 1. Research the real question formats first — knowing them in advance is the single biggest advantage.
- 2. Script your STAR stories: five to six covering leadership, teamwork, conflict, failure, and motivation.
- 3. Drill technical answers out loud — explaining to a camera is a different skill from reading about valuation.
- 4. Set up properly. Quiet room, stable connection, professional dress, camera at eye level. Test everything before you start.
- 5. Don't open the link early. Prepare everything first, then record in one focused session.
After the HireVue
Successful candidates move to the assessment centre or superday: interviews with senior bankers, case studies or group exercises, and deeper motivational questions. For the full pipeline from application to offer, see our step-by-step guide to how to apply to Bank of America 2027.
