Branch Operations Intern

Overview & Responsibilities

Are you a current Junior or Senior in college seeking an internship with a Finance or Business focus? If so, look no more!

Republic Finance is seeking interns for our Branch Operations program. As a Branch Ops Intern you will have the opportunity to learn the daily functions and operations of a branch as well as gain exposure to the broader organization and various career opportunities we offer.

We will provide hands‑on experience and expose you to our company initiatives, including loan closing, compliance training, leadership training and one or more branch operations continuous improvement projects involving various departments.

Our goal is not only to expand on the core concepts from your college classes but also to introduce you to a bright future and a long‑term career path with Republic Finance.
* Please note that this job is 100% onsite.*

We pay our Branch Operations Interns $15.00 per hour with the goal of offering full‑time employment upon successful completion of the program to start post‑graduation.
