The Banker revolves around a wealthy gentlemen, referred to as the Banker, who wishes to share his wealth, but only with those who prove themselves through a series of challenges and social tests.

Format

The game was designed by the Banker, a wealthy gentlemen seeking to share his wealth with a worthy competitor. The game starts off with 27 players and was divided into 3 Phases.

Each episode account holders compete in a Teller Challenge. At each Teller Challenge, the Banker offers a group pot where account holders can earn money based on their performance. The winners of the Teller Challenge form the Inner Circle, and earn the ability to people to the Vault. The highest bidders during the Auction for Safety earn immunity for the round and cannot be voted in by the Inner Circle or their fellow competitors. Once the Inner Circle has made their decision, then each person votes to send someone to the Vault. The team/person with the most votes along with the Inner Circle's selection compete in the Vault. In the Vault, there is a challenge; the winners of the challenge remain in the game and take the losers' money while losers go home empty handed.

In the end, the person with the most money will keep their account open with the Banker, and have permanent trust fund set up.

Along the way, there were variations of the format to fit the different phases:

  • Phase 1: Account Holders competed in trios. The winning team would become the Inner Circle and send in one team to compete in the Vault. The members of the two teams who bid the most money collectively during the Auction for Safety would earn Immunity. Everyone except for the Inner Circle and their selection would vote as individuals to send one more team to the Vault. The team with the most votes along with the Inner Circle's selection would be sent to the Vault. Only two of the three members from each team compete in the Vault. Players could either volunteer or forced to do a Draw if they could not decide. Players remained on their team until they were eliminated or Phase 2 began, no matter how many players were left.
  • Phase 2: Account Holders competed in pairs. Same as Phase 1 for the most part, except the two winning account holders in the Vault become a new team in the game.
  • Phase 3: Account Holders competed as individuals. Until Final 7, the top three in the Teller Challenge comprise the Inner Circle, starting at Final 7, only one person becomes the Inner Circle. The Inner Circle still sends in one person, however prior to Final 7, everyone else votes in two people to go to the Vault. No matter how many people are sent to the Vault, only one person is eliminated.
  • Finale Phase: At an unannounced point, the game completely changes. In the Final Teller Challenge of the season, the Inner Circle gets to eliminate one person from the game. The remaining players face a jury who decide to eliminate one player and give one play an advantage in the Final Challenge. After the jury eliminates someone, the remaining players compete in the Final Challenge.
