About Us
Our purpose as a firm is to make financial lives better through the power of every connection. Did you know that Bank of America is the top global bank on Fortune’s ‘Change the World’ list of companies? Bank of America was also recognized by Fortune for its recent $50 million equity investment in minority depository institutions (MDIs) as part of its $1 billion, four-year commitment to advance racial equality and economic opportunity.
Working from offices in more than 35 countries, our people partner with leading corporate and institutional investors – including almost all of the Fortune 500 – to provide a full suite of financial products and services. We’re proud to be a global leader in corporate and investment banking, sales and trading. And even prouder of ensuring our success is shared with our clients and communities.
Our Asia Pacific team is spread across in 12 markets, connecting Asia to the world and the world to Asia. Our regional footprint covers 12 currencies, more than a dozen languages and five time zones, placing us firmly among the region’s leading financial services companies.
Why Join Us?
Our purpose is simple: to make lives better. Whether that’s financially or by using our power to drive social change, we work for what matters.
We offer a variety of opportunities including insight programs, summer internships and full-time roles. So wherever you’re up to with your studies – and whatever your skills and ambitions – we can help you build a career on your own terms.
Studying for your first university degree? Our Banking Connections insight program offers a shorter, broader view of our businesses. Rather than being placed in a specific team, you’ll enjoy a tailored program that will help you develop new skills and learn enough about our different opportunities to apply for an internship.
Summer internships typically last 10-12 weeks and attract students in their penultimate year of university who want to start working full-time the following year. They’re our primary source of hiring for our full-time graduate programs and a great way to get a taste of what it’ll be like – as well as hone your skills through structured performance evaluations, training, development and social opportunities.
Full-time Analyst programs are designed for candidates who are ready to start work upon university graduation. The program format varies by business but all offer formal, ongoing training and development opportunities, structured performance evaluations, mentoring support and networking opportunities to supplement your on-the-job learning.
Opportunities for STEM Students
If you have a background in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics), you may naturally be gravitating towards one of our tech roles. But did you know we welcome STEM candidates across our banking programmes, too?
On the flip side, we also welcome business students to apply for our Global Technology programme, as not all roles require coding knowledge. All we ask is that you think digitally and thrive on creating the kind of technological innovations that drive our business – and industry – forward.
