You are not a fresh grad. The interviewer will note your graduation date and probably notice that you had short (>6 month) stints at each position. The best way to defuse this is to give a good explanation in the interview. Never make the mistake of excessively bad mouthing your old companies. Nothing turns an interviewer off faster than a whiner.
Have a story prepared that shows your enthusiasm, saying something like "I was approached for the second position and I decided that I wanted face new challenges etc (lie if you must but make it seem like you were moving up, not laterally)." Then brush the matter of leaving the second job by stating how "fascinated you are by the banking industry" .
Make sure u're up memorable in the interview, cause a good impression will forgive alot of things on your resume. This is all assuming of course, that you qualify for an interview even if its just on the phone.
By the way, theres a big difference from woking in a call center and being a personal financial manager. You might want to focus on whichever one is more suited for your current experience and resume.
Good luck on your job hunt.
