Drug Test Question

So i'm working at Boutique bank and starting on May 23rd. It doesn't seem as if they will be drug testing me prior to start date (and I'm not sure if they are at all), but I'm being careful nonetheless. I haven't smoked since May 3rd so by the time i start it will be 20 days and if there is a drug test at all it will have been 20+ days by the time i take it. Anyone know if its common for banks to test on/after start date? Any opinions on if I'll be fine? I smoked probably a 3 or 4 times a week but never very much in quantity because it was always with a group of friends. I don't think i'm going to bother taking a detox because there are so many conflicting articles about them. I have been drinking lots of water and exercising regularly. Pretty much everything I have read and people I have spoken to seem pretty sure I should be clean by then, but I just need some advice from people who have been in a similar situation.
