The Oxford English Dictionary explains Banker as "A person who manages or owns the bank" and that makes more sense.
So the next time before you start to proudly declare you are a Banker, please review your job scope before you open your mouth.

Banker? Yes? No?
There have been too many misuse of the term 'Banker'. Many bank employees think that once they work in a bank, they are a Banker. So from the clerical position (or our most humble tellers at the branches) at the lowest hierarchy to the CEO at the top of it, everyone's a Banker. And multiply that by the number of banks, say, in Singapore and *blink!* you have tens of thousands of bankers in the street.

More on bankers.
When times are good and we have $$$ flowing out of our ears, so-called bankers, actually bank officers under employment of banks, queue up to seek your business of securing loans , trade facilities etcetc from them so that they stay gainfully employed.
How times changed.
Since 1997, these same "bankers" , if they are not already retrenched , are taking a no-risk approach to safeguard their rice bowls and perhaps their nasi lemak.
Recently, these "bankers" are going round cutting off life-lines such as overdraft facilities, especially if
to meet u provide negative feedbacks, like in my case ,to the highest office bearer, the PM himself.
How far can these fair-weather friends go in their careers?
So much for supporting local banks all these years.
I am going foreign.
It's very sad to hear this. I work in the bank (but going to be out of job as I've tendered). It's not the bank staff but the business decisions of some 'top' management (or fair weather management). Frankly, if I am cash rich, why would I still need loans from the banks?
So I know exactly what you mean. The olden days of banking is long gone. It's really sad.
those who are not bankers they are known as bankrupts
