The technicals will be very similar, if not the same, to IB. They could ask ask debt specific questions about covenants, leverage ratios, etc. Just know "Why CB?" and can talk about how you want to be on the credit & relationship side while cross-selling products (ECM, DCM, etc)
Did a Super Day with a lower tier BB's Corporate Banking Division and they mostly focused on my resume + behaviorals (Along with "Why CB instead of IB?" as the other poster has mentioned) + asking me what general market/economic factors might be affecting the bank's operations. The only technical questions I got were what the three financial statements were, how they flowed into each other, and which particular line item was most important in analyzing a company's creditworthiness. Do be prepared to discuss things like financial ratios (DSCR, Interest Coverage Ratio, etc.), covenants, and the 5 C's of Credit.
What bank?
Barclays?
CITI
Mine was basically IB interview questions minus the DCF focus. With that in mind, study up on credit with the resources I'll link below:
This guy gave some good advice

Second the guy above. Besides the links listed above, also check out WSP and M&I guides. They were helpful enough for my recent interviews at a BB CB to land an offer.
Thank you!
WSP is kind of excessive to study for an internship but helpful for ft
