‘I chose Vesting Finance because I was already working here and I really liked the workplace. Vesting Finance is very flexible and open to a lot so that really appealed to me to also do an internship at Vesting Finance.

The most interesting things to pick up during my internship are the more complex issues. Then I am mainly talking about the interest rate and how payments were made. I find that interesting information to learn about. I have already learned a lot in a short period of time, but I would like to learn more in order to be able to best help clients within contract management mainly with these complex issues before transferring the client to another department. Vesting Finance applies socially responsible debt collection and I hope to be able to learn more about that and apply that in my communication to clients.

For me, a successful internship is when I have completed it and, as a result, I have experienced clear personal and professional growth and have been able to show that to myself and the supervisors at both my course and at Vesting Finance.’

‘I heard about Vesting Finance through an acquaintance who has enjoyed working there for years. As I was looking for an internship company, I decided to look up more about Vesting Finance. Then I came to the conclusion that the professional but accessible working atmosphere, combined with the possibility of making an immediate impact in a relevant field of work, made Vesting Finance the ideal place for me to further develop myself. After visiting the website and sending an open application, I was soon invited for an interview. Before I knew it, I had found an internship and was even allowed to work in the office during my free hours from school prior to the internship!

My graduation research focuses on investigating how predictive AI can contribute to a more efficient debt collection process at Vesting Finance. In doing so, I hope to make a valuable contribution to innovation within the organisation. I hope this internship will help me broaden my knowledge and skills, especially in the field of data analysis, AI and the financial sector. In addition, I see it as an opportunity to gain practical experience and further develop myself within a professional environment. For Vesting Finance, I want to offer a fresh perspective and new insights, while learning from the expertise within the company.’

Ismael completed an internship with us from Windesheim University of Applied Sciences in Almere, the Netherlands, where he was studying Commercial Economics. Within the Secured Servicing Team, Ismael researched how customers experience our service, or Customer Journey.

Ismael: ‘I came into contact with Vesting Finance through my teacher, who told me about the opportunities within the organisation. I then contacted Lodewijk (Corporate Recruiter) and was soon able to get acquainted. During this acquaintance with Stefan and Yvonne, I was immediately struck by the flexibility and trust Vesting Finance places in its employees.From the very first day I felt welcome and I was immersed in a collegial and supportive working environment. My goals at Vesting Finance are to gain insight into the dynamics of business and to further develop my communication skills. In addition, I like to expand my professional network, something I will certainly also realise here. At the end of my internship period, my result will be to present an advice which can help Vesting Finance to take their services to the next level.’
