merchant bankers
Corporate finance advisors
Merchant bankers are financiers who provide capital and advisory services to businesses, particularly for large transactions like mergers, acquisitions, and international trade.
Unlike retail banks serving individuals, merchant banks work with corporations and wealthy clients.
In British rhyming slang, merchant banker is a euphemism for wanker—someone contemptible or a masturbator: Those merchant bankers in Parliament have done it again.
