Bank Teller Interview Questions And Answers

A teller is an employee of a bank who deals directly with most customers. In some places, this employee is known as a cashier. Most teller jobs require cash handling experience and a high school diploma. Most banks provide on-the-job training.

I have been working as a bank teller for some time and find the work very interesting. The challenges that I am posed with each day motivate me to work well in a high volume environment. Eventually, I would like to work as a relationship manager once I have had ample experience as a teller.

Yes, I am. I ensure that I tally all transactions several times in a day and quite thoroughly at the end of my shift. Since I am an organized individual, I can handle work load effectively. I plan my work day and then make changes to my schedule as the day goes on.

A client whose account I was handling came in one day along with a friend. While I was processing transactions for the client, I could sense the interest of the friend. I engaged him in conversation and discovered that he was shopping for bank services. Through positive reinforcement, I managed to convince him that he should open an account with us. That client is now the bank's best client!

I believe in the cliche that customers are always right. Even when I know that a client is being unreasonable, I exercise diplomacy and tact. I have discovered that by listening to an angry client without arguing, you can determine what action to take and how to deal with him or her.

The Bank of America has a prestigious name in the banking sector all over the world. In addition, the professionalism and teamwork inside your bank attracted me to become a part of your team.

A Personal Teller looks like an ATM, but the difference is that you can have a real time, face-to-face conversation with an Ion Bank Personal Banker. Using video cameras, your image is transmitted to the Personal Teller located at our Customer Contact Center in Naugatuck, CT. Cameras at our Customer Contact Center transmit the Personal Teller's image back to you. Sound is carried through built-in speakers and a handset is available when using the Personal Teller in the bank lobby.

At a Personal Teller, you are interacting face-to-face with a live person, not a machine. The Personal Teller can guide you through every step of your transaction and answer questions about your accounts. A Personal Teller does not take ATM cards, so ATM transactions should still be conducted at the ATM.

Just about every transaction you can do with a teller inside a branch office can be done with a Personal Teller. You can make deposits, withdrawals, transfers and cash checks, make loan payments and more. Personal Tellers are unable to update Passbooks.

No, there are no additional fees.

In the lobby, you and the Personal Teller can see and hear each other using a video camera and speaker. Your conversation is just as private as if you were talking to a teller in a branch, but if you prefer greater privacy, there is a handset.

No, your account will be updated in real time just as it would inside a branch office or at a traditional drive-up. If you're unsure about the availability of your money, just ask your Personal Banker during the transaction.

I have very good communication skills and enjoy talking to people. I believe I could be very good at this job and that's the main reason why I apply for it.

I am a client of this bank for several years. I really enjoy coming here and to be honest, I can't imagine working for any other banking institution.

First of all, I would try to create a good friendly relationship with him. Sales are all about relations. Once I gain his trust, it will be easier to sell him our products.

I tend to be over-friendly with clients. However, I try to get rid of this weakness and be professional in my work. It's improving.
I have a tendency to be impatient. I always try to close the deal and work as fast as possible, what is not always the best option. However, I work on my patience and at the moment am much more patient as I was five years ago.
