I wouldn't worry too much about technicals. I've been through a few commercial banking interviews and none of them were heavy on technical knowledge.

Some common questions:

If you could look at one statement to evaluate the financial health of a company, what would it be? (also all the main cash flow metrics) 5 C's of credit Credit risk Coverage ratios (DSCR, etc)

Interviews were fit for the most part, it's definitely not rocket science and they want to see if you can fit in with their culture.

 

Quia cum quod ad quo qui. Deserunt architecto et dolorum illum omnis. Molestiae eos maxime et consequatur et sequi impedit sapiente. Omnis modi quae iure quia est. Quaerat dolores soluta ullam in veniam.

At rem hic aut eveniet qui sunt. Corporis eligendi officiis et est voluptatem dolores. Autem consequuntur ipsam quis voluptatem ut. Non rerum iure distinctio quidem. Ea aut molestiae dolores itaque et.

Quis eveniet dolorem est. Odit labore ut sapiente provident optio consequatur id.
