About Santander Corporate & Investment Banking (SCIB)

Santander Corporate & Investment Banking (SCIB) is Santander's global division that supports some of the world's most complex and sophisticated corporate and institutional clients, offering customised services and value-added wholesale products to best meet their needs.

About the Role

The Payment and Liquidity Operations team is part of the COO function of Santander London Branch (SLB). The team provides SME expertise, oversight of payment and liquidity activities, and manages relationships with regulators, agency banks, and key suppliers.

You’ll act as the primary contact for agency banking payments and manage SLB’s indirect access to Faster Payments, BACS, and cheque schemes. You’ll provide operational oversight, drive improvements in payment services and work closely with support teams based in Madrid.

If you’ve performed a similar role previously, this could be the perfect opportunity to develop your career.

The Difference You’ll Make

  • Overseeing agency banking services for Faster Payments and BACS
  • Supporting strategic initiatives such as extended operating hours and API adoption
  • Acting as a key liaison with regulators and industry bodies (Bank of England, Euroclear, etc.)
  • Ensuring compliance with CHAPS, Fnality, and CREST scheme rules
  • Monitoring SLAs, service reviews, and incident management
  • Preparing and coordinating regulatory reports (PRA/FCA, branch returns)
  • Participating in industry forums and helping shape the UK payments industry to benefit SLB
  • Supporting AI and Data Lake initiatives across SLB and other European SCIB branches
  • Maintaining risk and control frameworks and managing operational incidents

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.
