Bank clerk is fine as the first referee.
Your second referee has to be British and over 25 years.
Both referees should have known you for 3 years.

They don't need to mention that but that is one of HO requirements.

By signing the section 5 they automatically confirm :
• they are not a relative, solicitor or agent of the applicant, or related to the other referee;
• they are not employed by the Home Office;
• they have not been convicted of an imprisonable offence (unless that conviction can be disregarded in line
with the table shown on page 16 of the Booklet AN);
• they have known the applicant personally for more than 3 years;
• they are willing to give full details of their knowledge of the applicant;
• they will advise the Home Office of any reason why the applicant should not be naturalised
They also have to write on section 5 how they know the applicant their age and profession.
