Hong Leong Bank

The internship is open to students at local and international universities who hold a CGPA of 3.20 or above, and covers both compulsory (coursework-mandated) and non-compulsory placements, with a monthly allowance attached. That CGPA bar functions as a hard filter before the rest of an application is considered, so a candidate close to the threshold should confirm eligibility first rather than invest time preparing the rest of the application.

The citizenship requirement sits alongside a minimum CGPA of 3.20. For an international student without Malaysian citizenship, that is a hard gate: eligibility depends on nationality before it depends on academic record, so it is worth confirming before preparing an application to this specific route.

Beyond its home market, the bank operates through subsidiaries and branches in Singapore, Hong Kong, Vietnam and Cambodia, and holds an 18% equity stake in Bank of Chengdu in China. For a candidate comparing Malaysian banks, that regional footprint is a genuine point of difference from single-market competitors, though the bank's own entry-level programs hire specifically into the Malaysian entity and require Malaysian citizenship.
