SMBC: does its summer internship programme sponsor a UK visa?

No published policySummer Internship Programme

Unconfirmed. SMBC publishes no sponsorship policy for its summer internship programme, so we cannot state a firm answer. SMBC's EMEA early talent page describes a 9 week Summer Internship Programme for undergraduates in their penultimate year. The page does not name an office, but SMBC's EMEA hub is in London. As of 1 October 2026 there is no summer 2027 internship posting for London on SMBC's own careers search (the only 2027 intern postings are in Paris), and no dates, pay or visa information are published.
