^Generally speaking, no. Those are actually personal bankers, which are (as BIWAP says) not really a typical "banker". A lot of people start out in those ranks, but the people with the offices, loan officers, controllers, etc...those are bankers. At least, that's what my Dad (a banker) says. Generally, he doesn't deal with customers. He has in the past for his people if they get someone really annoying and the person is terrorizing someone down the chain, at least he did back when he was a VP. Now, he just deals with the controller aspects of the bank because that bank got absorbed by another regional bank. Basically, he makes sure all the wires, transactions, and expense reports are working. I don't know anymore about it than that. I'm sure it's all very complicated and stuff.

Exactly. "Personal banker" is a new-ish term. The traditional role of "banker" almost always involves being at an officer level position within the bank
