Applications close on Sept. 9 through the bank's official recruitment website. Entry-level recruitment covers six tracks: universal banking, former or soon-to-retire military officers, certified accountants, ICT, vocational high school graduates and ESG-related inclusive hiring.

The universal banker track includes corporate customer finance, customer asset management and regional talent recruitment.
