BankSwitch for Displaced Finance Workers

A transition concierge for bank employees who've been laid off or whose roles have been eliminated by AI, rebuilding their narrative and routing them into adjacent finance and fintech jobs.

Target user

Recently displaced or at-risk bank employees navigating AI-driven layoffs

Features
  • AI-narrated exit coaching that scripts how to explain the layoff in interviews and on LinkedIn
  • Curated job feed filtered for fintech, treasury, compliance, and relationship-management roles with transferable skills
  • Mock-interview practice with banking-aware AI interviewers that understand role-specific jargon and recent cut patterns
  • Severance and benefits optimizer covering COBRA timing, equity treatment, and what to negotiate in the exit package
Why now

With 40% role cuts publicly announced by JPMorgan's CEO, displaced banking talent is hitting the market in waves; legacy outplacement firms (Right Management, etc.) are generic and have not adapted to AI-specific displacement stories.

Monetization

Established B2B outplacement pricing is $1,500–$3,000/employee mid-market and $5,000–$25,000 executive; banks have severance budgets and proven willingness to pay per displaced head, especially with AI-PR risk.How Much Do Outplacement Services Cost? (2026 Prices)Outplacement Pricing Comparison

Longevity
6/10

AI-driven role reduction in banking is a multi-year structural shift, but likely a 3–5 year transition wave rather than permanent category — JPMorgan itself is redeploying internally, suggesting the displaced pipeline may eventually thin.JPMorgan's Workforce Strategy: Attrition Over LayoffsJPM CEO Jamie Dimon says AI is reshaping workforce, bank plans 'huge redeployment'

Feasibility
7/10

Primarily a services + coaching + curated job-routing play — no novel tech required, buildable on existing coaching networks and fintech employer relationships; main cost is sales into HR/Legal at banks.
