Finance internships for 2027 aren't one track, they're three: investment banking and summer analyst programs, corporate finance and FP&A internships inside non-financial companies, and fintech internships that recruit more like tech internships than traditional finance ones. There is no single verified industry-wide calendar covering all three — individual employers run their own timelines, and one bank's schedule doesn't tell you when a consumer-goods company opens its finance rotation program.
What's actually checkable is what a given posting says today. Below are three Summer 2027 finance internship postings and one full-time analyst program we read directly on the employer's own application page, alongside more examples in the sourced list further down. Treat these as dated examples of real requirements and pay, not as an industry average.
Investment banking vs corporate finance vs fintech
Investment banking interns build financial models and pitch books, sit in on live deal work when staffing allows, and spend the summer being evaluated for a full-time offer through a compressed, high-pressure process. Corporate finance and FP&A interns work inside a company's own finance team on budgeting, forecasting and variance analysis, a steadier and less client-facing version of the same skill set. Fintech interns often sit closer to a product or data team, working on pricing models, risk analysis or payments infrastructure, and the internship itself can look more like a software or data science internship than a classic finance one. We don't have a verified fintech internship posting to cite yet; the Stripe finance-intern requisition we checked had already closed.

How banking recruiting typically runs
Expect a resume screen, one or more technical interviews on discounted cash flow, comparable company analysis and basic accounting, and a final "superday" round of back-to-back interviews. Networking matters a lot in banking recruiting: reaching out to alumni, attending info sessions and building a relationship with a recruiter before you apply can matter as much as your resume. Boutique and regional banks run smaller, less structured processes, and they're a real option if the bulge bracket names feel out of reach.
What finance interns actually get paid
Pay varies a lot by track and company, and only some employers disclose it. Amazon's corporate finance rotation program posts $80,200–$99,300/year for its Seattle cohort; PepsiCo posts a flat, non-negotiable $55.50–$56.30/hour for its MBA-level Strategic Finance internship. Goldman Sachs's Summer Analyst program page doesn't publish a pay figure. We cover pay ranges across fields, not just finance, in our highest paying internships guide; read each employer's own disclosure rather than assuming a fixed relationship between a track's prestige and its pay.
Do you need a finance degree?
Not strictly, though it helps for banking specifically, where interviewers assume you already know the technicals cold. Corporate finance and FP&A roles are more open to economics, accounting or even general business majors as long as you're comfortable in a spreadsheet — PepsiCo's own posting above accepts "other related concentrations" beyond a finance major. Fintech is generally considered the most flexible of the three, though we don't have a verified fintech posting to confirm that against.
Where to start
Recruiting calendars in this field don't line up: check the specific employer's own page for its actual status rather than assuming a fixed month by track. Apply broadly rather than betting everything on a handful of famous names. Browse everything currently open on our 2027 finance internships list, or compare timelines against the rest of the market in our summer 2027 internships guide and our Big 4 internships guide if accounting is also on your list.

Frequently asked questions
When do finance internships for 2027 open?
There's no single verified industry-wide calendar. Investment banking generally recruits earliest, but the exact timing varies by bank, and corporate finance and fintech employers each run their own schedule. Check the specific employer's own posting rather than assuming a fixed month by track.
What's the difference between investment banking and corporate finance internships?
Banking interns build financial models and pitch books and get evaluated for a full-time offer through a compressed, high-pressure summer. Corporate finance and FP&A interns work inside a company's own finance team on budgeting and forecasting, a steadier version of similar skills without client-facing deal work. PepsiCo's Strategic Finance MBA internship, for example, rotates through FP&A, Sales/Commercial Finance, Supply Chain Finance, M&A and Treasury.
How much do finance interns get paid?
It varies by employer, and not everyone discloses it. Amazon's corporate finance rotation program posts $80,200–$99,300/year for its Seattle cohort; PepsiCo posts a flat, non-negotiable $55.50–$56.30/hour for its MBA-level Strategic Finance internship. Goldman Sachs's Summer Analyst program page doesn't publish a pay figure. Read each employer's own disclosure rather than assuming banking always pays the most.
Do I need a finance major to get a finance internship?
Not strictly, though it helps for banking, where interviewers expect you to already know the technicals. Corporate finance and FP&A postings are often open to other majors comfortable in a spreadsheet — PepsiCo's own posting accepts "other related concentrations" beyond a finance major.
