They're the person you see when finally get to the front of that long line at your favorite financial institution.
Bank tellers are the people who customers work with when conducting business at the bank.
They also sell savings bonds and traveler's checks. Tellers deal with customers' loans, keep records and handle all of the necessary paperwork. Using information on customer accounts, they may make recommendations on bank products or services such as direct deposit or home equity loans. Tellers are responsible for a cash drawer each day, receiving and counting it in the morning, handling transactions during their shift, and, after closing out, counting the cash on hand, listing deposit and withdrawal slips on a balance sheet and balancing accounts. A college education is not required for a person interested in becoming a teller.
