Afreximbank Group Internship Opportunities 2026

Afreximbank Group recognises that as part of its mandate to promote and finance trade in Africa, it needs to facilitate a broader understanding of the problems of African trade and trade finance as well as the principles of trade finance, especially structured trade finance, which is its operating model. By offering good students a chance for an internship with the Group, it is expected that students will leave with a better knowledge of the Afreximbank Group mandate and operating model, which they will put to use as they develop their careers. In return, it is expected that the interns will contribute fresh and diverse ideas to the operations of the Afreximbank Group.

The Internship is open to students who are nationals of the Bank’s member countries, a list of which is available on the Bank’s website; students of African descent in the diaspora and non-African students whose vision for the transformation of Africa resonates with the mission of the Afreximbank Group.
