Bank Treasury Summer Internship Program

Apply now for the 2026 World Bank Treasury Summer Internship Program

Are you the equivalent of a rising senior in college working towards a career on the trading floor of a major bank, investment, or private equity firm or one of the departments supporting that function? Get a substantial boost down that path with a Treasury Summer Internship.

With us, you will not just work in financial markets; you will help create new ones. The Treasury Summer Internship Program is a junior professional training program designed to develop the skills necessary for an exciting and rewarding career in the financial industry. The program aims to bring exceptional college students with a demonstrated interest in a financial career to support the World Bank’s development mandate.

The internship lays the foundation to become a Junior Analyst, a two-year position on one Treasury team, immediately after the intern graduates from their degree program. Interns are expected to be in their second to final year in an equivalent four‑year college degree program.

Treasury Summer Interns will work full time for ten weeks, from May 26 through August 3, 2026, in Washington, DC. The program begins with a customized onboarding week, after which interns rotate through three different Treasury teams in three‑week intervals. Throughout the summer, interns engage in weekly discussions with the program director and attend technical and career‑focused sessions with Treasury officers, managers, and directors.

They also have access to the nearly 300‑member Treasury team, including an opportunity to meet the Vice President & Treasurer. Each rotation concludes with a presentation to the respective team, and the internship culminates in a capstone project presented to the Treasury management team.

• Onboarding Week:
  May 26 – 29
• Rotation 1:
  June 1 – 19
• Rotation 2:
  June 22 – July 10
• Rotation 3:
  July 13 – July 31

Interns join on a short‑term temporary contract and are paid between $21.80 (net – for non‑US Citizens) and $26.20 (gross – for US Citizens) per hour for 400 hours. All interns are expected to be in person, full‑time, in Washington, DC, for the entire internship (May 26 – August
3). HR policies may change, but interns are expected to work at least four days in the office per week. Each intern will receive a World Bank laptop at the start of the internship. The World Bank sponsors the appropriate visa for an incoming intern to work in the United States if required.

The World Bank Treasury may extend offers to some Treasury Summer Interns after successful completion of their internship. Applications for Junior Analyst positions will open at the end of the summer internship and are subject to a competitive selection process. Treasury Junior Analyst roles are intended for candidates graduating with the equivalent of a bachelor’s degree between December 2026 and September 2027.

Junior Analysts receive a one‑year term, renewable for a maximum one additional year, totaling two years.
