Does working for a bank require a credit background check? I just got a job offer as graphic designer to work for a bank. However the job agent requires a credit background check and a lot of personal information? Is this standard for a bank? My concern is sometimes an off shore job agents is really a person after...

FDIC REQUIRES it; as well as fingerprinting and drug screening.

They generally need you social. But don't just send it. CALL the BANK HR department.

I'd be suspicious too...not many banks are hiring graphic designers...they use firms for that kind of work for the most part.

Right now, most companies are requiring applicants to agree to background and credit checks. It's the theory that if your credit is poor, you are a poor employment risk. Personally, I think this is a load of garbage.

Pretty much all banks require a credit check of prospective employees.

Job agent????? Did you get this job through an employment agency??
If so, where are they located? In a building you know of, or were you hired over the internet.????
