i recieved a high 2.2 in my second year of uni will it affect my grad role 

I got 59% in my 2nd year studying BSc Finance at a strong semi-target. I am saying I am expected a 2.1 because I think it is quite possible and the weightage towards my finanl year is 60% compared to 40% in 2nd year. 

Is there a high chance this will hinder my chances for a grad role or do companies only check transcripts once you have finished your degree?

There's a chance. Not much you can do about it.

Seen it go both ways.

Bigger issue is you should be targeting internships still if your plan is anywhere in FO finance.
