You can use the SVG command clipPath
<clipPath id="svgPath" >
<path d="M0,20 C100,80 350,0 500,30 L500,00 L0,0 Z" style="stroke: none; fill:red;"/>
</clipPath>
<style>
.banner_1 {
min-height: 200px;
background-color: #41ffffdb;
}
.banner_2 {
min-height: 200px;
background-color: #ddc141;
margin-top: -100px;
}
</style>
<div class="banner_1">
</div>
<div class="banner_2">
<svg viewBox="0 0 500 500" preserveAspectRatio="xMinYMin meet">
<defs>
<clipPath id="svgPath" >
<path d="M0,20 C100,80 350,0 500,30 L500,00 L0,0 Z" style="stroke: none; fill:red;"/>
</clipPath>
</defs>
<rect width="100%" height="100%" fill="#41ffffdb" clip-path="url(#svgPath)" />
</svg>
</div>

UPD
Additionally, on the proposal in the comments
only te bottom image needs to be clipped and it will overlap the top one.
.banner_1 {
min-height: 100px;
background-color: #41ffffdb;
}
.banner_2 {
background:url(https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/s.cdpn.io/4273/hawaii-beach.jpg);
background-size:cover;
}
<div class="banner_1">
</div>
<div class="banner_2">
<svg viewBox="0 0 500 500" preserveAspectRatio="xMinYMin meet">
<defs>
<clipPath id="svgPath" >
<path d="M0,20 C100,80 350,0 500,30 L500,00 L0,0 Z" style="stroke: none; fill:red;"/>
</clipPath>
</defs>
<rect width="100%" height="100%" fill="#41ffffdb" clip-path="url(#svgPath)"
</svg>
</div>
To replace the lower picture, change the background:url
