While conversing with the customer, I will take notes to ensure I get all of the information and frequently make eye contact with the customer to show attentiveness. I would ask clarifying questions or repeat the information back to ensure I understand.

Strong active listening skills are important when it comes to providing a positive customer experience. Because banking can often involve important details, you can also talk about how you might take notes while someone was talking in order to make sure you capture key details such as a date, account number, etc.
