What They Do

Bank tellers serve as the primary point of contact for customers conducting financial transactions at banks and credit unions. They spend their days stationed at teller windows or service counters, where they cash checks, process deposits and withdrawals, accept loan payments, and handle money orders and cashier's checks. Throughout each transaction, they carefully count currency, verify account information, and ensure all paperwork is accurate and complete. Tellers work in a fast-paced environment where they must balance speed with precision, as even small counting errors can create significant problems.
