Scotiabank is offering a fantastic opportunity to gain hands on experience within our Corporate Banking Summer Internship programme commencing in June 2025.

This 10-week Internship is aimed at students in their penultimate year of study who are keen to learn and have a curiosity in the financial markets. Corporate Bankers are committed to understanding their clients’ needs and providing solutions to a wide array of requirements whilst building strong and lasting customer relationships. The programme allows interns to gain hands-on experience in a stimulating and challenging environment, building knowledge and skills in relationship management and credit-related activities by rotating through several industry sectors within Scotiabank’s Corporate Banking business. 

What can you expect from the Summer Internship?

• Assist team members with the analysis of term sheets and due diligence materials, preparation of credit presentations and recommendations for review by banking senior management, risk management and the London Credit Committee, negotiation of documentation with clients or other banks including closing procedures culminating in the execution of the transaction.
• Assist with monitoring of assigned portfolio with duties to include assisting on conducting annual reviews, reviewing compliance certificates and participation in regulatory / KYC processes.
• Research companies, assets and transactions using public and private information sources to prepare meaningful analyses.
• Work closely with deal teams on live transactions and provide timely client support.
• Participate in marketing efforts with Directors/MDs including distribution of marketing pitches.
• Understand how the Bank’s risk appetite and risk culture should be considered in day-to-day activities and decisions.

Our Summer Internship is designed to give you an insight into what life at Scotiabank is really like so, in addition to the individual rotations, interns will take part in a centralised programme of activities including a weekly speaker series with leaders from across the Bank, peer to peer intern presentations, as well as social and networking events.

Interns will also be expected to deliver a final presentation to leaders within Corporate Banking, as well as be given the opportunity to work on a CSR activity alongside one of our chosen charities in either raising money or working on a challenge benefiting that particular charity.

Upon completion of the internship, exceptional interns will be considered for entry onto our 2026 Corporate Banking Rotational Graduate Programme.
