Corporate Banking full time interview

Recently got a full-time corporate banking interview at a large bank (think: HSBC/TD) and was wondering what type of questions should I expect, especially on the technical side?

Also, are corporate banking interviews mostly behaviorial or technical? Heard commercial banking was primarily behaviorial but not sure about corporate banking. 

Thanks!

Lateraled to BB (Citi, JPM, BofA) CB recently. Interviews were mostly about fit and behavioral, with some technicals (leverage ratio, interest coverage ratio, credit analysis, knowledge of credit facility products, loan tenor, etc.) thrown in there. It's essentially investment banking lite where analysts are expected churn out slide decks / credit memo / transaction summaries, prepare committee presentation materials / brief models, and complete other administrative work.

Free feel to PM if you are interested, happy to chat.
