You will be part of a bank committed to sustainable finance, innovation, and helping customers stay a step ahead in life and in business.

• Strong academic results, combined with extracurricular activities
• Strong analytical and communication skills, with high attention to detail

• Self-starter with an entrepreneurial spirit and outstanding work ethic
• High proficiency in Excel and PowerPoint; experience with Capital IQ, Bloomberg, or data tools is a plus
• Fluent in English (Dutch or another European language is a plus)

What We Offer

• Hands‑on experience in live transactions and client engagements.
• Gain deep exposure to ING’s financial products and institutional client coverage model

You’ll Also Benefit From
