Ans - Banking industry is one of the most important factors in stabilizing the economy of any country. A banker is an employee who works in the bank or they can be also referred to as Financial institutions who severs and solves the financial related problems to their clients. These clients can be individuals or company with different financial needs. A banker tries to increase the profit of the bank while taking calculative risks.
