Program Overview
The Commercial Banking Analyst Program is an 18-36 month program designed to develop an analyst’s strong foundation in credit. An analyst will be placed in one of the following five businesses: Middle Market Banking, Real Estate Banking, Specialized Industries, Business Credit, or Equipment Leasing. Placement will be determined based on analyst preference and market need.
As a Commercial Banking Analyst, one is expected to perform as a fully contributing member of the business unit and is also exposed to a variety of businesses within the Commercial Bank. Through this experience, analysts gain an understanding of how the various groups work together to identify and respond to client needs.
Responsibilities of a Commercial Banking Analyst include underwriting (focusing on credit and financial analysis), researching industries and markets, supporting the Banker and Underwriter, and gaining client exposure. Analysts are an integral part of the Commercial Banking team, and have access to senior officers of the firm.
