First National Bank (FNB) invites suitably qualified applicants to apply for their Graduate Programme Vacancies (Multiple Posts). The closing date for applications is 31 August 2026, and this opportunity is aimed at graduates who want more than just a job. It is designed for young people who want a real career, long-term growth, and a place in one of South Africa’s biggest banking groups.
If you are in your final year of university or recently completed your studies, this programme could shape your future in ways you did not expect.
Many graduate programmes offer short contracts or internships. FNB does things differently. All roles on the FNB Graduate Programme are permanent positions. This means you are not joining as a temporary worker. You become a full-time employee from day one.
Graduates are placed in different business units across retail and commercial banking, depending on their skills, interests, and qualifications. You are not stuck doing one task every day. Instead, you become part of real teams that work on real business challenges.
Some of the areas graduates may work in include:
This wide exposure helps graduates understand how a large bank works from the inside.
Graduates at FNB do more than just observe. You are expected to contribute, learn, and grow.
As part of the programme, your responsibilities may include:
Your voice matters, even as a graduate. FNB encourages young professionals to speak up and contribute.
Learning does not stop once you are hired. The FNB Graduate Programme includes monthly training sessions that help you build both technical and workplace skills.
Graduates also take part in an action learning project, where you work on real business problems and present solutions. This helps you gain confidence, teamwork skills, and practical experience.
You will also be expected to:
This support helps you grow faster than many entry-level roles.
FNB is looking for graduates who are curious, motivated, and ready to learn.
To apply, you must have:
The programme mainly focuses on graduates from BSc and Commerce faculties, especially those studying:
If your studies involve numbers, systems, data, problem-solving, or technology, this programme could be a good fit.
FNB is not only interested in your degree. They also look at how you think and work.
Successful applicants usually have:
You do not need to know everything already. What matters is your attitude and potential.
Applications submitted after the closing date will not be accepted, so it is important to apply early.
FNB appointments are made in line with the FirstRand Group Employment Equity plan. The bank supports fair recruitment and encourages applications from people with disabilities.
If you have a disability, you may choose to share this information voluntarily during the application process. This information is kept confidential unless the law requires otherwise.
The transition from university to work can be stressful. Many graduates struggle to find stable roles that offer real growth. The FNB Graduate Programme offers structure, support, and long-term employment.
Instead of jumping from short contracts, you start building a career in banking, technology, analytics, or business from the beginning. You learn, earn, and grow at the same time.
For graduates who want security, skills, and exposure in a respected organisation, this programme is worth serious consideration.
If you meet the requirements and want to take the first step toward a meaningful career, apply before 31 August 2026.
