Bank Entry for Business School Students: BEM Internship 100%

Are you at the end of your WMS time and want to kickstart your career in the finance industry? Then the BEM internship at BKB is your turbo entry into practice – you will become a banking professional in 18 months.

This is what you can expect: During the 18 months of the internship, you will have many opportunities for your personal development, be right in the middle of it instead of just being there, gain valuable experience during three varied assignments, and dive deep into the banking world, for example:

• Personal customer consultation at the counter or by phone
• Conducting account openings, payments & payment transactions
• In-depth advice on loans, investments & banking products for private and corporate clients
• Projects and exciting insights into digital banking solutions
• And you will finish with the nationally recognized banking industry certificate (BEM).

And because you are giving it your all, even more great things are waiting for you!

• Exciting opportunities to advance: Want to manage a branch later on? Sounds strange, but if you put in the effort, you can develop further within the company and discover new exciting areas. Check out the portraits of our employees here.
• Events that connect: Meet other interns and employees at numerous events throughout the company.
• More for your wallet: For example, with Reka checks, meal allowances, sports offerings, and CHF 1000.- clothing allowance for your stylish appearance with us.
