Bulge Bracket or Mid-Cap Bank Background Checks

Hi everyone!

I have just accepted an offer at a mid-size firm, particularly a bank, and was looking to see if anyone can provide any background or knowledge on what the background check is like

Are transcripts requested??? (I've heard many banks do not check, and if they do, it would be in the beginning stages of the application process) I know there are mandatory drug tests, etc.

Any help would be great!
