Some of the duties of business banking managers include:

• managing operational tasks: as a business banking manager, you oversee the operational functions of your department. For instance, you plan monthly goals for the team and assign duties to your teams. If there are operational issues, you resolve them to avoid affecting your monthly activities.
• planning and leading collection of accounting information: as a business banking manager, you evaluate your department's performance. That means you collect the financial and accounting information for review. You also prepare budgets at the beginning of the month and ensure the department reports its statutory returns.
• dealing with client complaints: if your business bankers cannot handle a client dispute, it is escalated to your office. Your job is to listen to the client and provide solutions to their problems.
• building relationships with clients: as a business banking manager, you maintain a good relationship with your customers. Since you work with organisations and corporate clients, they rely on your experience to expand their income and investment portfolios.
