About the Business Area
Our International Wealth and Premier Banking (IWPB) business serves over 40 million customers globally, ranging from retail customers to ultra-high net worth individuals and their families. We help them to take care of their day-to-day finances and manage, protect and grow their wealth.
At HSBC’s Global Private Bank, we work with some of the world’s most affluent clients (Ultra-High-Net-Worth), helping them grow, manage and protect their wealth across investments, lending and long-term financial planning.
Who You Are
You’re curious about private banking, interested in working with people and ready to learn in a real-world setting. You don’t need financial experience to start — what matters is your attitude, your adaptability and your willingness to get involved. You could be a great fit if you enjoy collaborating with others, communicating clearly and building strong relationships over time. You’re open-minded, quick to learn and interested in putting new knowledge into practice. You stay calm when plans change and bring a positive mindset to challenges. If you want to explore how client relationships and financial solutions come together in private banking, this could be a strong fit.
What You'll Do
You’ll rotate across private banking teams and work alongside Relationship Managers, Investment Counsellors or Credit Advisers to support day-to-day client activity. You could help build your understanding of asset classes, financial products and credit solutions, and see how teams support lending, advisory services and loan structuring. You may also learn how client portfolios are reviewed and managed, and how strong client relationships are built over time. It’s a practical introduction to private banking, with real exposure to the people and work behind client service. The internship also includes structured assessments aligned to securing a graduate role, giving you chances to demonstrate how you think, collaborate and deliver, through tasks such as project work, presentations, interviews or skills-based evaluations.
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.
