Explore this programme

Commercial Banking connects entrepreneurial businesses to opportunities through our relationship managers and digital capabilities.

You’ll work with our customer-facing Relationship Managers and their teams, supporting small enterprises seeking to expand domestically and large companies operating internationally.

Towards the end of your internship, you’ll get a business-related project to complete on your own or with other interns. This will be your opportunity to showcase the knowledge and skills you’ve developed during the internship.

Your project could be looking at sustainability ideas that support our business, helping our Team Managers and Relationship Managers deliver growth, or suggesting process improvements that improve the experiences of our customers and employees.

The project will form part of the assessment at the end of your internship. Those who excel will be considered for our Commercial Banking Graduate Programme, where you will have the opportunity to build an international network and collaborate with clients in developed and developing markets.
