Writing about a company in the cover letter

So as the SA 2020 recruitment in Europe is open, I wanted to ask you what to write in the cover letter. Especially in the paragraph about the company. It is hard to say what distinguishes the culture. I thought about writing about a deal I like + if I talked with an analyst from this bank, I would mention their name. Any thoughts on that?
