Here’s a clear summary of the Investec Young Professionals requirements — based on Investec’s official banking eligibility criteria for their young professionals offering in South Africa.
⭐ What Investec Young Professionals Means
Investec doesn’t have a “job programme” called Young Professionals — it’s a banking solution designed for early-career professionals (a private bank account with benefits tailored to younger, emerging earners). It’s not a career or training programme, but rather a product eligibility category for Investec’s Private Banking service. (Investec)
🎯 1. Eligibility Criteria for Young Professionals
To qualify for Investec’s Young Professionals banking offering (i.e., access to a Private Bank Account with reduced fees and benefits), you typically must meet the following entry requirements:
👤 Age
✔ You must be under 30 years old at the time of application. (Investec)
💼 Employment & Income
✔ You must be employed and earning an income — usually a minimum annual salary of about R600 000 or more (before bonuses/incentives). (Investec)
👉 Note: In some cases, certain professional qualifications or roles in fields like accounting, engineering, medicine, IT, actuary or similar professions may qualify even with slightly different criteria, but the minimum earnings threshold is a core requirement. (Investec)
🎓 Qualification
✔ You generally need to have a recognised qualification — at least a tertiary degree, diploma or equivalent professional credential — because the product is aimed at emerging professionals early in career. (Investec)
Investec may look at employment details and qualification proof when you apply to open the account (e.g., payslips, letter of employment and/or proof of qualifications). (Investec)
