NAB Financial Markets Summer Intern Program

How the Financial Markets Summer Intern Program works

Our Financial Markets summer internship is for undergraduate and postgraduate students in their second last year of study. It’s a bespoke four-week paid program run over the university summer break where you’ll learn about our fast-paced global financial markets team.

Our Markets team use sales, trading and research expertise to provide local and offshore customers with access to both traded and illiquid markets; including fixed income, money markets, credit, derivatives, currencies and commodities. This includes trading between all types of banks, superannuation funds and domestic and multi-national companies. Our business covers every segment of the corporate and investor markets, from global supranationals through to high-net-worth customers looking to build their investment portfolio.

The program offers tailored rotations across different teams within our financial markets business. You’ll discover the value we create for our clients whilst building core knowledge across foreign exchange, interest rates, credit and commodities markets. You'll experience a dynamic work environment and be supported with learning sessions, networking with senior leaders, trading simulation games and a dedicated support network.

At the end of the internship, you’ll have the opportunity to apply and potentially receive an early offer for our Graduate Program the following year. 

This program is offered in Sydney only.
