How can I increase the spacing between name and the address in LaTeX class moderncv, style banking?

You need to change the command makehead to get a bigger space between name and addess with the following patch in the preamble. Change the number in \[0.5cm] for your needs. Please see that this patch is for class moderncv, version 2.0.0, the current one:

makeatletter

patchcmd{makehead}{%search

    ifthenelse{equal{@title}{}}{}{titlestyle{~|~@title}}\%

    }{%replace

    ifthenelse{equal{@title}{}}{}{titlestyle{~|~@title}}\[0.5cm]%

  }{%success

  }{%failure

  }

makeatother

With the complete MWE, based on the template of class moderncv
