I have several family members work in banking. I assume you know all the typical stuff, be at work on time, professional attitude and dress. Try to get into a position with a little more responsibility such as a personal banker. Try to become very familiar with all the type of accounts the bank offers and all the terms and conditions. After being a personal banker I would try for a minor management position such as a teller manager. Work your way up from there. It's always good to take some accounting or management classes on the side. Also try to find a higher up whom you can trust and who is willing to be a mentor and guide you in the right direction.

go back to school, and learn a trade. A bank cashier is NOT a career. If a 19 year old college drop out can do your job, then you will forever be on the chopping block my friend.

At one time banks offered their own schools, so talk with your head cashier and see what they recommend, because they are looking for specific course loads. May you have good feeling when your cash figure and station figure match most of the time. Buying some bank stock maybe helpful as long as you vote for next president of bank.

If you're already working in the field then I suggest you speak with people at work. They would know best since they would've had to go through the same steps you will. And you may just luck out since you have your foot in the door you may get to skip a step or 2 along the way. A lot of the time it's who you know...

You need to work hard and if you know of any openings to move up in the bank maybe you should mention to your manager that you would be interested in a position like that.
