Does anyone know what a 'Relationship Banker' is?

[divinemartyr]

Since I got laid off on Monday I need a new job. Bank One is hiring a bunch of people currently and the background requirements listed completely fit my profile. Curious if anyone knows what these type of positions pay and what they entail? If it's worthwhile I might go check it out tomorrow. Thanks in advance if anyone knows.

I'd imagine they're not tellers, but people that give out loans and set up accounts and such..

I may be way off, but banks typically pay good money..hope things work out for the best for you!
