Bank Teller Job Duties

Bank Teller Job Duties

The highest customer profile job in a bank is that of the bank teller who is always on the bank’s front lines.  Already supplanted by automated teller machines (ATMs) operating 24 x 7, the position remains in demand for bank clients who prefer to transact face to face with their banking needs, including special deposits and withdrawals they prefer handled in the banks rather than ATMs.  There’s often no substitute to a personal touch.
