Our mission is Helping Britain Prosper as we look after the financial needs of businesses across the nation. As the country continues its economic recovery, our work has been thrown into the spotlight. We help UK-based businesses, from start-ups to established corporations, invest locally and trade globally. We advise them how to manage their risks and become more sustainable, as well as designing industry-leading products to meet their changing needs.
Right now, we're looking for even more talented people to join our 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 to do it.
Passionate about developing relationships? Curious about what drives the economy? Keen to embrace new challenges? If this sounds like you, then join us in supporting a more sustainable and inclusive society.
In Business and Commercial Banking, we work to understand our clients and the challenges they face at the frontline of the UK 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 will improve the way we work. If that sounds exciting, this scheme is designed for you.
Over the course of two years and four rotational placements, you’ll develop the multi-faceted knowledge you need to succeed in our Business and Commercial Banking division, as well as the chance to explore a variety of specialisms. From day one, your team will value your perspective, give you real responsibility, and rely on you to help businesses grow.
You’ll work directly with Business & Commercial clients, understanding their needs while developing strong relationship-building skills. You’ll discover the breadth of products we offer including lending, foreign exchange, payments and transaction banking, and merchant services.
You’ll learn how we develop our products to improve the customer experience, working alongside engineers and experts to enhance product journeys. And you’ll understand how we manage risk across the business – including credit underwriting and conduct controls – to ensure we provide the best support for customers and shape finance as a force for good.
On top of that, you’ll learn how we’re building digital innovation and sustainability into everything we do, helping clients accelerate their transition to net zero through the solutions we create. Whatever the situation, our goal is to find even better ways of helping businesses become more sustainable. Making this a scheme you’ll be proud to be part of.
