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

- 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.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
