Does Fidelity Investments hire felons?

Question

Zippia Team · Accepted Answer

Yes, Fidelity Investments hires felons. While they are open to hiring someone with a felony, many factors may impact being hired with a felony, such as the nature of the felony, how long ago it occurred, and the position for which you are applying.

The official Fidelity Investment policy for hiring felons says:

Veritude candidates must pass the Fidelity Investments' background check (criminal, employment, education, and often credit). Items in these categories are assigned a point value, and each role we have has a certain point threshold which cannot be exceeded.

Felonies related to cybercrimes, extortion, violence, or theft make employment at Fidelity Investments unlikely, including any minor felony listed that happened within the last year. Overall, it may be easier to get a position in the call center with a felony, than as a financial advisor.
