London - 2022 Spring Insight Programme - Global Banking

Bank Overview

BNP Paribas is a leading bank in Europe with an international reach. It operates in 68 countries and has more than 193,000 employees, including nearly 148,000 in Europe. The Group has key positions in its three main activities: Domestic Markets and International Financial Services (whose retail-banking networks and financial services are covered by Retail Banking & Services) and Corporate & Institutional Banking, which serves two client franchises: corporate clients and institutional investors. The Group helps all its clients (individuals, community associations, entrepreneurs, SMEs, corporates and institutional clients) to realise their projects through solutions spanning financing, investment, savings and protection insurance. In Europe, the Group has four domestic markets (Belgium, France, Italy and Luxembourg) and BNP Paribas Personal Finance is the European leader in consumer lending. BNP Paribas is rolling out its integrated retail-banking model in Mediterranean countries, in Turkey, in Eastern Europe and a large network in the western part of the United States. In its Corporate & Institutional Banking and International Financial Services activities, BNP Paribas also enjoys top positions in Europe, a strong presence in the Americas as well as a solid and fast-growing business in Asia-Pacific.

As one of the world’s pre-eminent banking groups – and the first ever French bank to set down roots in the UK in 1867 – the breadth and depth of our presence across the country means BNP Paribas is able provide UK companies and investors access to a full global suite of products and solutions in Europe and worldwide. This, combined with our long-term commitment to the UK, is what truly distinguishes BNP Paribas from other international banks operating in the country.

Business Area/Dept Overview

Once again this year, our Spring Insight participants will have the opportunity to participate in programme specific to their degree background. Depending on your main degree discipline, we will invite you to join our STEM/Humanities Spring Insight or our Economics/Finance Insight. We understand the importance of your development, therefore the training you receive during the programme will be tailored to your educational background to ensure your learning is taking place at the right pace for you. Through an exciting combination of interactive workshops, informative presentations and real-life case studies, you'll gain an insight into Global Banking and an idea of what it's like to work for one of the world's top global investment banks, meeting various members of our Global Banking teams along the way. At the end of the programme you may be considered for a Summer Internship the following year.
