**Why the Global** **Transaction Banking Off-Cycle Intern programme?**

**Global** **Transaction Banking**

Global Transaction Banking serves a diverse range of clients, including mid-sized corporates, large corporates, financial institutions, and small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). These clients are organized based on their specific needs: mid-sized corporates are typically owner-managed and single-banked; large corporates are multi-banked and aligned by industry sectors; financial institutions include banks, payment service providers, and alternative finance companies; and SMEs range from small businesses to more sophisticated financial institution clients.

We provide tailored solutions to meet the unique needs of each client segment, ensuring they receive the appropriate level of service and support. Barclays Global Transaction Banking is a perfect place to begin, and build, a long, varied and successful career in finance. You’ll be exposed to an unrivalled depth and breadth of experience. You’ll learn skills and gain product knowledge that prepare you for any role in our organisation.

We are a wide ranging and diverse team of people across the UK, Europe, AsiaPac and the US. We have the strategy, leadership, and investment in place to grow our team significantly, upgrade our digital capabilities and drive global expansion. That’s because we are seen by the business as one of Barclays’ key opportunities for growth. With all this growth, there’s also the opportunity to bring a truly global perspective to your career. That could mean managing a global team from your current location, creating products that are adapted for use around the world, or making an exciting international career move.

The work we do touches every aspect of corporate and commercial banking. You’ll also get a unique perspective on global commerce, seeing how financial solutions and working capital support every stage of the corporate value chain.

You’ll be interacting with, and learning from, colleagues from Investment Banking, Corporate Banking, sales, operations, technology, relationship management, compliance and legal teams. You’ll be working closely with Transaction Banking experts who have years of experience and knowledge to share. You’ll be understanding the needs of every size and type of client, across every industry. The relationships and networks you build with colleagues, clients and other financial institutions will be priceless.

Throughout, you’ll be growing our business and forging new ground, with the support of one of the world’s leading corporate and investment banks. So you’ll enjoy more exposure, access and influence, at an earlier stage, than most established Transaction Banking teams can offer.

There are a whole range of roles to explore, and our commitment to growth means that you’ll have opportunities to innovate, be an entrepreneur and develop your career on a global stage. There are always new products, sectors, markets and regulatory environments to explore.
