The project

Commercial Payment Trends Mini-Analysis Deck

A polished 6-slide PowerPoint deck that analyzes a publicly available dataset on business payment behaviors or B2B transaction trends, identifies one concrete opportunity a commercial bank could act on, and presents findings in an executive-ready format. This maps directly to the internship because it replicates the capstone project dynamic, independent research, financial analysis, and a structured recommendation delivered to senior leadership.

  1. Download the Federal Reserve's 'Findings from the Diary of Consumer Payment Choice' or the AFP Payments Fraud survey (both free, publicly available PDFs) and pull 4-6 key statistics into a clean Excel workbook; add one calculated column, such as year-over-year percentage change in commercial check vs. ACH usage, to show you can work with numbers, not just copy them.
  2. Build a one-page Excel summary tab with a bar or line chart comparing at least two payment method trends over time, formatted with a title, labeled axes, and a callout box highlighting your single most important finding, this becomes the evidence slide in your deck.
  3. Design a 6-slide PowerPoint deck structured as: (1) Problem framing, what shift is happening in commercial payments, (2) Data evidence, embed your Excel chart, (3) What this means for a commercial bank like KeyBank, (4) One specific product or outreach opportunity this trend supports, (5) How success could be measured, (6) Sources and methodology, then apply a clean, professional theme with consistent fonts and your name in the footer so a recruiter can open it and see executive-presentation polish in under 60 seconds.

Questions

Do I need to know how to code?

No. For roles like this one, Provieo builds the project as a live case-study page: slides, tables and findings you fill in. You bring the thinking.

Where did this project come from?

Provieo read the KeyBank posting and generated it on 2026-10-16. If you paste the same posting yourself you may get a different project, so two applicants don't show up with the same one.

Is Provieo connected to KeyBank?

No. This is an independent project idea based on a public posting. It does not guarantee an interview.
