Commercial Banking Graduate Programme

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

Over 18 months, you’ll rotate between Relationship Management teams that work directly with clients to connect them to opportunities, or with Credit Analyst Teams that analyse a company’s creditworthiness and provide lending solutions.

You might work in Global Trade teams offering services and finance for buyers and suppliers, or with our Product Management teams who develop new, digital services to improve the experience of our customers.

You could also work in various functions that provide support to our clients, such as our Risk teams who provide policies and processes to protect our clients and the bank.

Upon completion of the programme, you’ll be prepared to take advantage of the Commercial Bank’s local and international opportunities to progress your career, including the possibility to become one of our leaders of the future.
