About this opportunity
This is a graduate recruitment programme rather than an internship, and it is one of the few technology entry routes in Nigerian banking that is open right now to people who have only just graduated. FCMB Group Plc is looking for recent graduates with up to two years of working experience, from technology and quantitative disciplines, who want to spend their early-career building software, data and digital products inside a financial services group. The 2026 edition runs under the theme Build What Next.
The academic bar is specific, so check it before you spend time on the form. You need a Bachelor degree or its equivalent from an accredited tertiary institution, with a minimum of second-class upper, in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Computer Engineering, Information Technology, Data Science, Electrical Engineering, Statistics or a related discipline. FCMB also looks for strong academic performance alongside analytical and problem-solving ability, and a genuine interest in technology, digital innovation and how banking works.
The process is competitive and it has several stages. FCMB states that submitting an application does not guarantee selection or employment, and that shortlisting may involve assessments, interviews, group exercises and background checks. Successful candidates will be required to sign an employment contract governing the terms of their engagement. The bank also reserves the right to verify the accuracy of everything you provide and may disqualify candidates for false or misleading statements, so keep your records, results and certificates in order. The programme terms further note that the bank may modify, suspend or cancel the programme, and that you may withdraw at any stage of the process.
Applications run through FCMB's recruitment portal on SeamlessHiring, which is where you will create a profile, fill in your details and upload what is asked. Your personal data is collected and processed only for recruitment and selection. The posting carries an expiry of 23 October 2026, which leaves a short window, so it is worth submitting early rather than on the last day, particularly since in-person assessment stages can be scheduled while the round is still open.
