An SO answer suggests that the size of namefont and titlefont can be reduced by replacing 38/40.
\renewcommand*{\namefont}{\fontsize{38}{40}\mdseries\upshape}
\renewcommand*{\titlefont}{\fontsize{38}{40}\mdseries\upshape}
A post on latex-community.org suggests that hacking moderncvstylebanking.sty by replacing \huge
is the way to do it.
\renewcommand*{\namefont}{\huge\bfseries\upshape}
\renewcommand*{\titlefont}{\huge\mdseries\upshape}
Moderncv has been restructured and the second option no longer applies. The first, used in the following MWE, doesn't work. How can I reduce name and title font in moderncv on TeX Live 2016?
\documentclass{moderncv}
\usepackage{lipsum}
% https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/128054/9549
\renewcommand*{\namefont}{\fontsize{14}{18}\mdseries\upshape}
\renewcommand*{\titlefont}{\fontsize{14}{18}\mdseries\upshape}
\moderncvstyle{banking}
\name{First}{Last}
\title{Resumé Title}
\begin{document}
\recipient{Bob Inc.}{Bob}
\opening{Dear Bob,}
\closing{Yours truly,}
\makelettertitle
\lipsum[1]
\makeletterclosing
\end{document}

The
\moderncvstyle{banking}
also sets these fonts. So issue your font changing after that.
