Are you a brilliant young Nigerian graduate with a Second Class Upper degree, fresh from NYSC, and ready to launch an exciting career in one of Africa’s most dynamic financial institutions? This could be your golden opportunity.

Rand Merchant Bank (RMB) Nigeria, a subsidiary of the FirstRand Group, has officially opened applications for its 2026 Graduate Trainee Programme. Known for nurturing top talent and offering world-class banking experience, RMB is inviting ambitious graduates to join its prestigious programme and kickstart a rewarding journey in finance, investment banking, and corporate solutions.

🚀 Don't Miss Out!

Who Can Apply? Key Eligibility Criteria

To be considered, you must meet the following strict requirements:

  • Hold a minimum of a Second Class Upper (2:1) degree from a recognized university (any discipline is welcome).
  • Be 25 years or younger at the time of application.
  • Have completed your National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) on or before December 31, 2025.
  • Be legally eligible to work in Nigeria.
  • Provide complete and accurate information in your application.

Only candidates who tick all these boxes and submit honest details will advance. False or misleading information will lead to automatic disqualification.

What to Expect in the Selection Process

Submitting an application does not guarantee selection. RMB’s rigorous process may include:

  • Online assessments
  • Interviews
  • Group exercises
  • Background checks

The bank reserves the right to verify all information provided. Successful candidates will be offered an employment contract outlining the full terms of the programme.

Important Notes for Applicants

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.
