Are you socially aware as well as curious and inquisitive? Do you have the desire to work in the largest dealing room in continental Europe and in a dynamic and challenging environment? An internship within the Markets track of ABN AMRO’s Corporate Banking Division may be the perfect fit for you. Located at the Zuid-as in Amsterdam, you’ll support a desk and find the best deals for your clients and guide them in the complex world of financial products that is dynamic as well as rapidly evolving. You will develop an invaluable professional and financial skill-set and build an extensive professional network, whilst enjoying our open culture and international working environment.

Your working environment

Markets is the heart of Corporate Banking and supports clients with the purchase and sale of (complex) financial products - for example, stocks, bonds, fixed-income, currency and structured products. Our clients vary from Private Banking to (Large) Corporate Clients, Public Sector and Financial Institutions. We carry out transactions for them from our dealing rooms in Amsterdam (where you will be located), Frankfurt, London and Paris.

Working at ABN AMRO means becoming even better at what you do. We understand clients, translate their ambitions into joint success and earn their trust. We want our clients to understand our products. That is why we sometimes even say 'no' if the risk attached to a product is too big for the client. Serving the client's interests is also a question of offering and communicating a transparent range of products. Banking is our business, the world is our challenge.

Possible internship assignments

An internship within the ABN AMRO Markets franchise provides the opportunity to prove yourself in a challenging working environment. As Markets offers a broad range of products across different desks, our Markets internship team will provide support to find the most suitable desk for you to ensure the best match with your interests and capabilities. The Markets department includes the following desks which are looking for interns:
