We’re serious about giving you the very best graduate programme we can. After all, we’re looking for potential future leaders, so we want to make sure you’re engaged, challenged and always learning new things.

Join our programme and you’ll benefit from a deep and rounded understanding of our business and strategy. You’ll complete three placements across different business areas in our key UK locations: London, Bristol & Belfast.

Customer Interaction

You’ll get to see our business and how we interact with our customers from several different angles, working in areas like our Business Banking relationship management teams or our asset financing business NIIB, or our joint venture First Rate Exchange Services. You’ll develop your knowledge of our customer propositions, distribution channels, customer service and business development.
