Corporate Banking and Markets Graduate Scheme

Right now, we're looking for the next generation of talented people 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. As long as you are keen to make a difference and have the determination to thrive in our fast-paced, yet supportive environment, we want to hear from you.

Join our Corporate Banking & Markets graduate programme and you’ll develop a broad range of technical markets, commercial product and relationship management skills that will enable you to build a long-term and rewarding career.

You’ll receive a range of training, including an invitation to an intensive training programme before you begin. This will give you a supportive environment to gain the foundation you need to succeed in the business, allow you to meet fellow graduates and mentors, and get you off to a strong start. We’ll also support you to work towards a professional qualification to further your personal development.

Throughout the scheme, you’ll see how we’re building digital innovation into everything we do and focused on creating sustainable options for our clients and colleagues within the Corporate Institutional Bank. You’ll also 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.

You’ll be based at one of our hubs in London, Bristol, Birmingham or Edinburgh for the duration of your scheme. There is the option to complete one of your six-month placements at a different UK or international location, although we can’t offer any financial support to help you relocate and you would be expected to return to your main hub after that placement.
