Business Analyst at a bank?

What is it like being a business analyst for a bank? Most general corporate business analysts work on internal projects, but are there any nuances with doing these at a bank instead of a tech/consumer company?

This also seems like a great way to break into Corporate strategy, are these roles usually well respected? Or are they viewed as the internal consultants trying to change how each department works and hated because of it?
