Morphology

banker = bank (transparent) = bank + er

This is a straightforward agent noun built from 'bank' plus the suffix '-er', meaning a person associated with a bank.

Etymology

Banker comes from the word bank, which once meant a 'bench' or 'table' where money dealers sat, plus the ending -er meaning 'one who does something'. So a banker is the person who works at the money table and manages other people's money.
