About Handelsbanken

Founded in 1871, Handelsbanken is one of Sweden's leading banks with 822 branches in 25 countries, and more than 11,500 employees. Handelsbanken began operating in Great Britain in 1982 and we now have over 200 branches in the UK.

Summer Internship

We are currently recruiting for an eight – twelve week internship programme which could then lead to a long-term career with the bank.

Here at Handelsbanken we like to do things differently and a summer internship is a superb opportunity for candidates to learn more about our unique approach to de-centralised banking. In our business the branch is the bank, so we locate our offices as close as possible to our customers.

Our summer internship gives self-starters who have plenty of initiative an excellent opportunity to learn about Handelsbanken and how we work. We have various positions available across the UK. Most of these positions will be within a branch providing customer and branch support, however, there may be positions available within head office departments such as HR, accounts or other support functions. These positions have the potential to lead to long-term careers within the bank.

Candidates will see for themselves what separates Handelsbanken from the high street banks and how we achieve our high levels of customer satisfaction by delivering world class service. They will participate in FIKA meetings and be involved in local day to day running of the branch.

At Handelsbanken our idea of how we should run a universal bank is based on trust and respect for the individual, this applies to both customers and employees. Interns will see for themselves how a successful team works together to run their branch with autonomy in all aspects of their business.

The programme will provide practical experience within the following competencies:

• Customer satisfaction
• Team working
• Communication
• Financial analysis
• Problem solving and decision making
• Commercial awareness
• Time management
• Innovation and creativity
