Competing Internship offers

Hey all,
I'm currently trying to decide between two internship offers:
-Financing solutions at NatWest (internship salary starts at £41 000, which increases to £56 000 if I convert unto the graduate scheme. entails acquisition financing, specialist asset-backed financing, leveraged buyouts, infrastructure financing and project finance for greenfield renewable energy projects)

-International Corporate banking at Barclays (haven't received the contract yet, so unsure of the salary and cannot find much information online. From what i've seen the role is primarily relationship management for large corporates, and provides lending services aswell )

I've only got two more days to accept my offer from NatWest, but i've got no idea which one I should go for. Which offer is better in terms of salary progression and exit opportunities? Would appreciate any insights anyone could provide
