Helping customers buy and protect what matters most.
In the Argos Financial Services business, we make shopping easier for Argos customers. Part of Sainsbury’s bank, we provide safe, secure financial products – everything from warranties and pet insurance to loans and the Argos card, the UK’s number one store card.
And we’re just as committed to our people as our customers. So whichever of our locations you work in – from Widnes and Bolton to Stafford and Milton Keynes – we’ll ensure you have every opportunity to learn, develop and progress.
As the landscape for financial services companies continues to evolve, our Change team comes into its own, helping us to adapt and thrive in this new world. They keep track of changes in the markets and the financial world, then develop the solutions we need to adapt to them. It’s because of their work that we’re able to keep providing best financial solutions for our customers.
For a large financial services company like ours, the regulatory environment is increasingly complex. As it evolves, the work of our Compliance & Enterprise Risk team becomes more and more important. Dealing with a steady stream of new legislation, they tackle many diverse issues within a landscape that’s always changing.
The Commercial & Marketing team strive to extend the reach of our brand, products and services and make them shine brightly to customers and client businesses alike.

Commercial & Marketing also includes a dedicated Data Marketing team, who analyse and interpret complex data from a wide range of sources to develop valuable insights.
The Argos store card is one of the UK’s most popular, with over a million customers enjoying the convenience it offers. Our Credit Risk team manage new customer applications, as well as the credit policy, credit strategy and bad debt charges attached to these cards.
This is the go-to team for data on our customers and competitors. Experts in their field, they take targeted customer and competitor data and use it to deliver valuable insights to support all areas of our business.
Their work helps us to ensure we always make the right decisions for our customers. They also help us to improve our offering, collecting customer responses to everything from our website to our FastTrack service.
Our HR team are always on hand to provide support and guidance across the business. And with roles in everything from Learning & Capability to Communications and Resourcing, in this team you’ll be able to shape your career in any way you want.
The Operations department is the backbone of the Argos Financial Services business. With more than 500 friendly advisors, they provide support and advice for customers using our store card and other financial services.
A core part of the department is our Customer Operations team. Based in the Bolton and Widnes area, they support all aspects of the customer journey – from underwriting and customer services to fraud, payment solutions and customer care.
Our Third Party team also plays a vital role by working with suppliers from across the country to help maintain the highest possible service standards for our customers.
Working in this department, you will have plenty of opportunities to develop and progress – not just through on-the-job coaching, but also through development programmes, formal training and a whole host of other initiatives.
