Summer 2026 Internship - Legal and Corporate Affairs
The Opportunity
We’re in the business of putting people first and we’ve been doing just that for over 100 years. Our mission isn’t performative either: we show up for our customers when it comes to their financial needs. We’re making banking smarter and simpler while serving our communities. We value and encourage the mantra of working better together.
That’s where you come into play. Test drive the tools in your educational toolbox and learn some new skills along the way with an 11-week paid internship with us. Your internship with Ally will move you from educated to experienced.
The Ally Internship Program guides and mentors students with development opportunities and experiences that support your career interests while also driving the business forward. You’ll have the opportunity to connect with diverse teams and functions across the company. You will interact with Ally’s leadership and learn from their personal successes. You will gain the experience to know what it means to be an Ally!
