Deadline: Ongoing
You’ll grow your career on an extraordinarily international stage. Wherever you’re based, you’ll work with colleagues from around the world – either virtually or in your own teams. You’ll have access to senior leaders globally.
You’ll also learn that we’re pioneers with a firm commitment to emerging markets. It’s a different take for an international bank, one which builds a link between communities, local businesses and our own. That gives our work – and your career – more meaning.
Your training
The programme gives you exposure to smaller businesses and multinationals alike, offering ideas for cash flow improvement and capital optimisation. We will build your skills and knowledge through rotations, to add value and contribute to meeting the needs of our clients. The projects you work on will require your analytical skills, an ability to work independently and an instinct for trends and innovations. You will learn from the best, evolve professionally as well as personally, and build a firm foundation upon which to specialise later. Here are some experiences you could look forward to:
- Assist in developing sales strategy for clients and pitches for new products
- Learn about segments, industries and how client working capital cycles impact business
- Analyse research trends and current market conditions to contribute to launching new products to market
Your career progression

These could be in areas such as:
- Cash Management
- Securities Services
