FirstRand Bank Limited
Private Banking and Advisory Graduate Academy 2027
Role Overview
FirstRand Bank Limited is accepting applications for the 2027 Private Banking and Advisory Graduate Academy. The official FNB careers portal describes a contract-based development programme for finance and investment graduates who want to move into client-facing private advisory work. Training covers wealth management, financial planning and investment strategy, with programme hubs in Gauteng, KwaZulu-Natal and Cape Town.
Key Responsibilities
Graduate Academy participants receive practical training in serving private-banking clients, developing financial plans and understanding investment strategy. The programme is intended to build the technical and client-service capability required for private advisory work. The advert states that performance is assessed after the programme and that only top achievers may receive a permanent offer; permanent placement is therefore not guaranteed.
Entry Requirements
Applicants need a completed FAIS-accredited NQF level 7 undergraduate or NQF level 8 postgraduate qualification in investments, financial planning, estate planning, financial management, accounting or economics. The source asks for a strong interest in a client-facing career involving financial planning and wealth management and requires participants to be based in one of the programme's three regional hubs.
