Graduate Banking Operations Analyst - London

An international bank is looking for a graduate to join its Loan Operations and Settlements team. This is an excellent opportunity for someone beginning their banking career and looking to gain hands-on experience across loan servicing, payments, settlements and trade-finance operations.

Previous banking experience is not essential, although an internship, placement or initial role within banking operations, payments, loans, trade finance or financial administration would be highly advantageous.

The Role:

You will support the daily processing and control of loan and settlement transactions, including:

  • Processing loan drawdowns, rollovers and repayments.
  • Monitoring loan payments, fees, outstanding balances and undrawn facilities.
  • Producing daily and monthly loan portfolio reports.
  • Supporting nostro movements, payment instructions and settlement controls.
  • Preparing transaction records and documentation for trade-finance products.
  • Assisting with GL entries, charges and reconciliation-related activity.
  • Processing fixed-deposit instructions.
  • Maintaining accurate transaction records, customer files and supporting documentation.
  • Liaising with internal teams, customers, correspondent banks and external processing providers.
  • Supporting operational risk and control checks.

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.
