HSBC Degree Apprenticeship – Commercial Banking – Manchester

From day one, you’ll be part of a dedicated team focused on building, growing, and protecting deep, trusted relationships with our Commercial Banking clients. You won’t just observe – you’ll play a role in helping clients succeed and safeguarding their legacy, while strengthening HSBC’s position as a trusted partner. Here’s a taste of what you’ll get involved in:

Work with specialist teams: See how Relationship Managers partner with experts across the bank to grow client relationships and deliver tailored financial solutions. Get early exposure to clients: You’ll start building connections from the outset, gaining insight into clients’ businesses, their goals, and how HSBC’s solutions – from sustainable supply chains to green bonds – can support their success, because their success is our success. Act as the link between HSBC and its clients: Support the team in getting to know clients inside out. That deep knowledge helps us ensure HSBC delivers the right solutions at the right time. See collaboration in action: Experience how we work across teams, geographies, and functions, including Legal, Credit, and Risk, to deliver for our clients. Get hands-on with real tasks: You’ll help create client presentations, reports, and credit papers; support strategic reviews and pitches; and conduct financial analysis and risk assessments on client portfolios and transactions.

Training:

This is a 3-year Degree Apprenticeship that combines practical experience with academic learning.

You’ll complete a BSc (Hons) in Applied Retail and Commercial Banking via the University of Exeter. 

Your journey kicks off with structured expert-led training to give you the technical know-how to hit the ground running. Your first few months will be about getting settled into HSBC and your first placement. Your apprenticeship qualification will begin in January.  



Training Outcome:

You will have constant support throughout your programme, including a dedicated mentor and development team, study days (both group and independent) designed to build your soft and technical skills, access to a vast array of learning tools and materials (both internal and external) and on the job coaching. You will also receive support during the final year of your programme to help you secure your destination role within the organisation.
