Wholesale Banking traineeship

Do you hold a master’s degree, preferably in economics, finance, business administration, investment or engineering? Do you want to make a contribution that will be rewarding, add value and get the recognition you deserve? Does the challenging and dynamic world of Wholesale Banking appeal to you? If you are prepared to invest in yourself and your career and are keen to learn a lot in a short space of time, both about yourself and your specialist area, then this traineeship is for you!

As a trainee, you like to take the initiative, you are eager to learn and to take a proactive, entrepreneurial approach, not only at the start but for the entire duration of your traineeship. We encourage you to develop, and share, your own vision.

Before you can offer customers integral solutions, you must understand their core business. You’ll have plenty of opportunities to perform multiple analyses to set you up to provide top-notch service to our clients.

During your first rotation, you will develop skills, a network and a broad understanding of what Wholesale Banking in ING in Belgium does, which will help you to choose your second rotation. We encourage you to broaden your scope and develop skills in the products and segments.

During your third rotation, you have the opportunity to join the daily life of a Wholesale Banking team abroad.

Former trainees already went to the US, the UK, Singapore, France, Germany, Italy, Zwitserland, Luxembourg, etc.

One of your rotations can be done in a different track, to give you the opportunity to experience and make impact on our clients, products or processes from a different angle. For example: as an Operations & Change or Retail Banking trainee you can get Analytics experience, or as a Risk trainee you can get a better understanding of our Wholesale Banking business. The possibilities are endless.

In your first permanent job, you enhance your knowledge and hone your skills. You can choose to specialize as an Analyst within Capital Structuring & Advisory, for example.

These roles are just a handful of examples to illustrate the possible direction your career could take within ING. You’re in charge of your own career path. We offer you the opportunities, the tools and the facilities, but it’s up to you to use them effectively to make your traineeship a success.

The point of being a trainee is to learn a lot, and we offer you every opportunity to do so. Regardless of their chosen track within the ING International Talent Programme, all of our trainees attend the Global Learning Events where they learn about Core Banking (such as the role of a bank, the balance sheet, bank funding, IT processes, risk management, etc). Needless to say, this training also pays attention to softer skills such as Business Partnering/Stakeholder Management and presentation techniques.

In addition, the Wholesale Banking track includes specialized training courses such as CFA I + II, ING Value Chain and the Value Chain of WB Lending, Asset and Liability Management Basics, Documentation of Deals, Transaction Services, FM Products and Cross-selling and Compliance.
