As someone who began their journey at Waterford Bank in 2016 and has grown with the company, I understand firsthand the value of a supportive and growth-focused environment.
That’s why I’m thrilled to announce this incredible opportunity for junior and senior college students to start their own journey with us through our brand-new 2025 Summer Internship Program.
Launching Careers and Building Community
At Waterford Bank, N.A., we pride ourselves on Redefining Relationship Banking. Since 2007, we’ve worked tirelessly to build meaningful connections with our clients and make a positive impact in the communities we serve across Northwest Ohio and Southeast Michigan.
Our bank’s mission is simple: to provide world-class financial services while fostering a sense of community and integrity that goes far beyond banking.
With this new internship program, we’re inviting talented individuals to apply with the opportunity to gain hands-on experience in the financial industry, and become part of a team that values service, growth, and innovation.
About the Internship Program
As a Waterford Bank intern, you’ll have the chance to build real-world financial skills, under the guidance of a mentor, while being part of a team that values innovation, integrity, and service.
This paid internship runs from June 2, 2025, to August 4, 2025. It includes two positions in our Toledo headquarters at 3900 N McCord Rd, and one position in our Troy, MI office at 5600 New King Dr., Suite 150.
“Starting my career at Waterford with zero banking experience, I was welcomed with open arms and given real exposure to every area of banking. That’s been huge for me as I now work in compliance, where I get to interact with all our departments. Outside the office, I love the volunteer opportunities, like delivering Mobile Meals, as well as our annual events, like celebrating the Bank’s anniversary. Waterford gives me so many ways to give back and connect with the community, and that’s one of the reasons I’m proud to be part of this team!”
-Gabbi Robinson, Compliance Analyst
This is more than just an internship; it’s an opportunity to learn and grow in a supportive, community-focused environment. Here’s what you can expect:
- Community Engagement: Participate in local events and get a firsthand look at our commitment to community involvement.
- On-the-Job Training: Gain practical skills in credit analysis, financial management, and banking operations alongside our experienced team.
- Networking Opportunities: Connect with Waterford Bank employees and other interns at community events and networking meet-ups.

Join Us on a Journey of Growth
I joined Waterford Bank as a Commercial Lender and worked my way into a leadership position because of the incredible support, people, and opportunities this organization provides. Now, we’re looking for the next generation of driven, talented individuals to join us.
