When do sales and trading internships open in the US?
US sales and trading internships open firm by firm, not on one day: last season, half of the 4 firms with a US opening on record opened between 30 October 2025 and 25 February 2026.
A quarter opened earlier and a quarter later. Bank of America says its US application periods vary through the year by line of business and are reviewed on a rolling basis, and each program's own page gives its deadline.

It can at Bank of America, whose US careers site calls its summer internship class its primary source of hiring into its full-time campus programs.
A student it declines for the summer program can reapply for its full-time program the following year.
