About BNP Paribas

BNP Paribas is one of Europe’s leading banks with an international presence in 68 countries and more than 193,000 employees. We provide clients with financing, investment, savings and risk management solutions while maintaining the highest ethical standards.

In the UK, our history dates back to 1867. Today, our clients benefit from our global reach, expertise and long-term commitment to building a responsible and sustainable financial future.

Business Area

Global Banking is made up of two key areas:

Corporate Clients Group
 This team is the main link between the bank and our corporate clients. You could work in Corporate Coverage, which manages client relationships and ensures they have access to our full range of products; Advisory, which focuses on mergers and acquisitions, valuation and private equity; or Industry Groups, which specialise in event-driven transactions across specific sectors.

Capital Markets
 Here you will gain exposure to areas such as Debt Markets, Equity Capital Markets, Real Estate Finance, Energy, Resources & Infrastructure, and Corporate Broking. From financing acquisitions and refinancing loans to raising equity and advising on strategic transactions, this is where you will see how we deliver complex solutions for major clients.

The Internship

Our nine-week Global Banking internship gives you the chance to experience life at the centre of corporate and investment banking. After a week of training, you will spend eight weeks in one of our business areas, taking on real responsibility from the start and contributing to live client projects.

This is your opportunity to develop skills, build your network and demonstrate your potential for a place on our graduate programme.
