We look after the financial needs of small businesses through to large corporations and financial institutions. And as the nation continues its economic recovery, our work has really been thrown into the spotlight. We help UK-based clients to invest locally and trade globally, advise them on how to manage their risks and become more sustainable, and design industry-leading products to meet their changing needs.
Right now, we're looking for new talent to join the team and help us prepare for whatever the future brings. And the good news is, you don't need a banking or finance-related degree.
Is Our Commercial Banking Graduate Scheme For You?
Passionate about developing relationships? Curious about what drives the economy? Keen to embrace new challenges? And quick to adapt when situations change? If this sounds like you, Commercial Banking could be the scheme for you.
In Commercial Banking, we empathise with our clients and the challenges they face – after all, their businesses are at the frontline of the economy. We're quick to collaborate and find solutions when world events shake up markets. We're also versatile and quick to adopt new technologies that improve the way we work. If that sounds exciting, this scheme is designed for you.
What You’ll Learn On The Commercial Banking Graduate Scheme
This two-year scheme will give you the multi-faceted knowledge you need to succeed in Commercial Banking, and the chance to explore how your skills can adapt to a variety of specialisms. From day one, your team will value your perspective, give you real responsibility, and rely on your contribution. And over the course of four placements, your knowledge, skills and experience will grow, preparing you for a successful and rewarding career.
You’ll work directly with clients in our Relationship Management team, support our Risk/Credit teams in assessing their business from a risk and lending perspective, and learn about what options are available to support them with our Product Management or Markets team.
You’ll see how we’re building digital innovation into everything we do. You'll work towards a professional qualification. You’ll also have the opportunity to grow an encouraging network of peers and colleagues, who are as passionate about learning as you are. Above all, you’ll get a good idea of where you’d like to specialise and further develop your career.
