"I think customer service is the most important skill for a bank teller to possess. At the local branch, the teller is often the first person the customer interacts with, so it's important to be personable and provide a positive experience for each customer that enters the bank. Customer service skills are also important to build trust, maintain relationships, resolve conflict, and keep customers returning to the business."

"I believe attention to detail is the most critical skill to possess to be successful as a bank teller. We handle high volumes of transactions and large sums of cash daily, so it's essential to manage them accurately to avoid a loss to the bank and to maintain trust with customers. Minimal errors can cause a lot of headaches for you and your manager, so accuracy on a regular basis is required."
