'der Banker' and 'der Bankier' both refer to people from the world of banking and finance. 'Banker' is used more generally for someone who works in an important position at a bank or in the financial sector, especially in modern finance. 'Bankier' is more specific and sounds more traditional: it usually means the owner or personally liable partner of a private bank or large banking house. The words can be confused because both sound like 'Bank'. As a practical rule: for modern jobs in banks, 'Banker' usually fits; for old banking houses or private bank owners, 'Bankier' is more likely.
