Smart Bankers Internship Programme (SBIP) 2024/25

Programme Overview

The Smart Bankers Internship Programme is a  minimum of 10-week internship programme. You will be assigned to a business at the start of the programme, where you will experience the challenges and rewards of a career in the banking industry and get to know the business of UOB and be a part of our digital and tech teams. To be a UOB Intern, you will be someone who is eager to learn and apply newly gained knowledge in a useful, practical and strategic manner. This could lead to an invitation to take up a Management Associate position with UOB Malaysia upon your graduation. You will start the UOB Malaysia Smart Bankers Internship Programme with a corporate induction. This will provide you with an overview of the various businesses within UOB, insights into present-day challenges facing the industry as well as the Bank’s expectations of graduate hires. You will develop an in-depth understanding of the business function through on-the-job training and coaching. During your internship, you will also undertake a project that is relevant to UOB and the banking industry.
