Teller/CSR

BASIC FUNCTION:

Primary: Tellers are the first to contact to our valued customers. Tellers provide service to Bank customers by conducting appropriate transactions and meeting the needs of customers by providing prompt, efficient and accurate service interactions. Tellers are required to represent the Bank in a courteous, professional manner, and be alert to customer needs while also referring them to appropriate departments in the Bank when those needs are identified.

By having a conversation and understanding what a customer needs the CSR can recommend and open personalized product and service solutions that address those needs.
