Our Graduate Programmes
Branch Banking
What does Branch Banking do?
Branch Banking is at the front line of the distribution of ASB’s business. This is where we help our customers with their hopes and dreams and provide them with the appropriate products and services so they can bring their dreams to reality. In Branch Banking, our staff drive our sales and service culture, and this is key to our success. We are continually stretching, driving and developing our staff so that they can become the best in their role that they can be. We are a large team, who love to set new records of achievement and every week we strive together to achieve greater results and set new benchmarks.
What will I do on the Branch Banking programme?
During the programme, you will get to experience different front line roles in the branch. Exposed to different concepts and fully immersed in the ASB culture, no two days will be the same. You will have a lot of contact with customers, dealing with their queries and making referrals, all while working in a busy and vibrant team environment. Ultimately, you will progress to a people leader role, responsible for front line staff in the branch and responsible for driving business goals and coaching the staff to achieve world-class goals.
You will also have a couple of shorter rotations outside of Branch Banking, including one three-month stint in a Risk function in the Bank.
Human Resources
What do Human Resources do?
HR is all about people – recruiting them, developing them, rewarding them and ensuring they are treated fairly. We support the business by giving tools, process and professional advice to develop engaged and happy colleagues, giving ASB a “people advantage”. People are what make ASB great!
What will I do on the Human Resources programme?
Working across Learning & Development, Talent Management, Change Capability and HR Services, you will gain real life experience, which will enable you to make a choice on a specific or generalist HR career. Working on policy, research, projects and change management, you will add capability and a contemporary dynamic to the HR team and wider business through our people strategy.
You will also spend three months in a customer-facing business unit (for example, in our one of our branches) getting to know our Customers, Colleagues and Communities + three months in a Risk function in the Bank.
ASB Institutional
What does ASB Institutional do?
ASB Institutional is responsible for the provision of products and services to ASB's major corporate and government clients to optimise the client's capital structure and related financial flows. The Client Relationship team is the primary face to the market for all complex financing and advisory functions.

ASB Institutional also incorporates the Transaction Banking Solutions area (ASB International, Global Banking Partnerships and Working Capital Services), Economics, Credit Risk and an Operations team.
What will I do on the ASB Institutional programme?
During the programme, you'll undertake five rotations in different parts of the business. This ensures you will have a diverse experience and are able to create synergies between your placements. There is the opportunity to be involved with our Relationship Managers at the client face, understanding the needs of our clients and the products we offer. You’ll also develop an understanding of risk management as potential deals are put through the credit approval process. In addition, you’ll experience the roles of both the front office trading and dealing teams, as well as an overview of our specialist product areas.
