Morphology
The noun phrase is transparently compositional: 'bank' (financial institution) + 'examiner' (a person who inspects) directly yields a person who inspects banks. This compound follows a common and predictable noun+agent pattern found across languages, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents should readily infer the meaning.
Etymology
Bank examiner comes from the clear image of a person checking a bank's papers and money to find mistakes. The name joins bank (the money place) and examiner (someone who looks closely), so it means 'a person who officially checks a bank's books and records'.
