banker

Deals in loans

A banker is someone who works in banking, especially in an executive or management role at a bank.

The term suggests someone involved in high-level financial decisions rather than a teller handling routine transactions: Investment bankers on Wall Street.

In British slang, a banker is a sure thing—a bet considered certain to win.
