The banking and finance industries include a wide variety of careers, including positions in asset management, loan processing and financial planning.
The term ‘banker’ refers to the people employed by banks and building societies, who are hired in a managerial capacity (junior, mid-level and senior). For the purpose of this article, the term ‘banker’ is used purely in the context of institutions that are engaged in conventional banking, i.e. accepting deposits, making loans and clearing transactions. We’re not here to talk about corporate bankers, who deal in merchant banking or investment banking.
