In these other professions, the "obligation of confidence attaches to a confidant only in respect of confidential information disclosed to him by the confider." (65) However in the banking context, the banker is in a different position, one analogous to "an employee who will be bound to respect the confidentiality of information which he acquires in his capacity qua employee, even though this information is not directly derived from their employer." (66) In this sense then, one could argue that even though the banker's duty flows from the law of confidential communications, it forms a distinct branch of this area of law with its own particular mode of analysis that is consistent with the particular circumstances of the banker-customer relationship.
