Interview in one hour twenty minutes.  I'm terrified.  May kill someone.

Don't do that, that's considered a red flag by most hiring managers.

Just remember to sit up straight, maintain eye contact, and tell the interviewer what they want to hear.

Don't talk about your personal problems, struggles (even if you've overcome them), or any concerns you have about not being able to do the job.

Some key things that might help (depending on the company):

1) Express interest in long term employment - companies hate people who flake on them.
2) Know something about the bank - a bit of its history, its mission , core values, etc
3) Try to figure out what they're looking for - either through conversation or looking at their ad and emphasize those qualities.

If you follow this path (or one like it) you will nail the interview and at least get serious consideration for hire.

That's a good advice.

Good luck with that Raz.

One of the very best things you could do is just relax, you'll come over better etc.

Telling someone to relax is about as useful as telling someone to calm down.  You can't will it. 

What you can do is remember that after the first minute or two, which may seem to go on forever, you'll get in the groove and get on with it.

Then start with the hiring manager.

The closest I've ever gotten to the lending business was when I threatened someone with a monkey wrench.

Probably a good idea not to mention that little anecdote.

On the other hand, maybe they have a position in collections.

So the whole gold panning thing has panned out. 

Not really, but yesterday afternoon my wife spent an hour and a half panning in the Truckee at Mayberry Park while I read Piketty. I mention it because the juxtaposition is interesting. Sadly, she got much more from her time, as I'm in a specifically unproductive part of the book, while she found a mini-pebble and a number of glitter-sized flakes of gold.

Apparently, gold is junk floating in every part of the American West. One guy bought some bags of sand from Home Depot and panned out some gold. It's everywhere.

Most excellent expedition your excellency.

Thus far from the testimonials of Languishites who have read Piketty it seems like time would be better spent reading and analysing the lyrics of Nicki Minaj.
