Many interviewers will start off with this question, which could throw you off a bit. You've done all of this research on the company but have you prepared to talk about yourself?
The interviewer is looking for relevant information to the position for which you applied. Respond by mentioning your education, how many years of experience you have in your field, and be sure give some details about your most current position.

I hold two master degree's in Accounting and Business Administration. I have over 30 years in retail which has been in the truckstops and convenience store industry. My last position was in banking which I really enjoyed. I am wanting to continue working in the banking industry with the opportunity to grow and develop.

You definitely have valuable experience to share with the interviewer! Because your most recent role was in banking and highlights many of the skills and qualifications that are required for the role you're interviewing for, consider adjusting your answer to lead with your most recent experience, then share your education and past experience. You can also enhance your response by sharing why you prefer to continue working in banking over the retail/convenience industry and what kind of role you see yourself advancing into within 3-5 years. With a wealth of experience to draw on, you can also tell the interviewer about the leadership, teamwork, and customer service skills you've gained across your career and how you see that experience relating to the role you're applying to.
