Background checks are ongoing, lengthy, extensive and tedious and could get several questions on the same issue, a month after I had left the company they were still doing background checks.

Like any financial institution they will of course conduct background checks as you're dealing with client sensitive information. If you've been in jail for fraud then it's not likely you would be suitable obviously. It takes as long as it takes.
