NOVA Bank Branch
NOVA Bank, a recently licensed commercial bank with a focus on wholesale Banking, Investment Banking, Retail banking, Digital Banking, and Advisory Services has commenced the application process for its 2025 graduate trainee program.
The invitation to apply was contained in a recent publication made by the bank on its website.
At inception in 2018, NOVA Bank was known as NOVA Merchant Bank. As a merchant bank, NOVA specialized in financial advisory, debt and equity capital raising, mergers and acquisitions (M&A), portfolio management, and trade financing.
Following its transition into a commercial bank in June 2024, with the Central Bank of Nigeria’s approval, NOVA expanded its operations. NOVA opened its first commercial banking branch in Victoria Island (VI), Lagos shortly after the approval was given.
The bank has also announced plans to open additional branches in other parts of Lagos, Abuja, Port Harcourt, and Kano as part of the bank’s “phygital” strategy.
NOVA’s “phygital” strategy combines physical locations with advanced digital banking services to promote financial inclusion, support small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), and deliver innovative banking solutions.
The NOVA Bank Graduate Trainee Program aims to nurture the next generation of banking professionals. This program targets fresh graduates, providing them with an intensive curriculum designed by industry experts.
Through this curriculum, participants are exposed to global banking practices, leadership training, and expertise in technology-driven banking environments.
Over the course of one year, trainees receive mentorship and are encouraged to bring innovative ideas that align with NOVA’s vision of advancing financial services.
This initiative supports NOVA’s transition into commercial banking by helping the bank secure the needed manpower while setting participants on a path to a rewarding career in the financial sector.
Interested applicants can apply through the careers section on the NOVA Bank website. The selection process is rigorous, ensuring only the best candidates are chosen for this transformative experience.
To be eligible, applicants must possess a minimum of a second-class degree in any discipline from a reputable university, must have completed NYSC and must not be more than 27 years old.
This program is an excellent opportunity for graduates passionate about shaping the future of banking while developing their skills and expertise.
