Apprenticeship Commercial Clerk EFZ Bank 100%

About the job

Do you want more than just a desk job? Are numbers exactly your thing and are you looking for an apprenticeship where you advise people and find your way into the world of business and finance?

Then you are exactly right with us! Because Elina, Ivan, Jamie, Nadin and other commercial apprentices are looking for committed reinforcement.

What awaits you During your 3-year training, you are in the thick of it rather than just being there, gaining valuable experience during six varied assignments and diving deep into the banking world, for example:

• Customer advice in person at the counter or by phone from the customer centre
• Account openings, payments & payment transactions
• In-depth advice on loans, investments & banking products for private and corporate customers
• Projects and exciting insights into digital banking solutions

Watch the video of our trainees here to get a taste already!

And because you give it your all, even more great things await you!

• Exciting opportunities to advance: Later on, managing a branch? Sounds strange, but if you put your heart into it, you can develop further within the BKB group and discover new exciting areas.
• Events that connect: Meet other apprentices and employees at numerous events throughout the group.
• We invest in you: CHF 1000.– clothing allowance for your smart appearance with us, a contribution for your laptop and language stay, plus meal allowance, sports offers and other employee benefits.
