Bank Teller?

Question

Can u please give me a brief description of how it works, also those the computer tell you how much money to give...as far as how many 1's or 10's etc... what is the salary...

Answer 1

everything is done on the tellers computer
the computer will tell her how much money to give back to the customer but not in what denomination , and will let the teller know if she is balanced after each tansaction

Answer 2

I was a teller for 4 years and now I am in HR at a bank and train tellers. Tellers are the people that the customers see, so they must maintain a professional appearance at all times. They cash checks, take deposits, do withdrawals, sell cashier's checks, take payments, make change and the list goes on. A major part of banking is confidentiality. As far as the computer system...each bank is different. Where I work, we run 2 systems. One is the customer database basically and the other is the teller system where you process transactions. Our teller system is great - you record the number of each bill that you take in as well as it tells you what to give back. The salary is an hourly wage. I live in Western Pa where most jobs don't pay as much as they would in a bigger area. Our tellers get paid $7-$10 depending upon length of service, experience, test scores, customer service skills and balancing records.

Answer 3

In Canada they make about $12-14/hr.

Yes the computer does all the work for you, it's not easy to screw up. Hours are not very flexible if you're in school, like most branches are open 8-5 or so, with a few open until 8pm. Plus you probably have to work saturdays.

Be prepared to do sales as well, most banks give their tellers sales quotias they are expected to meet, such as upselling a new GIC to clients, or opening 10 new savings accounts per week, etc.

Answer 4

I applied for a teller position. i didn't get it b/c they thought i'd be more suitable for management, blah, blah, blah....
well, anyway, they were starting out at about $11-ish an hour.

i've known people to say that it is kind of boring, however, for me, it would have been a stepping stone into bank management, which is a great future and pretty good money and great hours.

as far as the computers they use...couldn't tell ya.

take care and good luck in the future!

Answer 5

You should go back to school and learn some elementary math. You know how you said that you will never use it in life so why study it? Well, here is where is useful! If you can't even add and subtract then what are you good for at all?
