Position Description
What does it mean to be a Teller within SB? They are most often the first point of contact for our clients - the face of the Bank, so one can understand the importance of this role in maintaining and growing the reputation and brand of the Bank. With this in mind lets chat through a ‘day in the life’ of a Teller.
Customer Service and Care:
The most consistent aspect of this job is people.
A day in the life of a Teller begins and ends with interacting with and serving the Bank’s customers. Within this context, having a love for, interest in and tolerance of people of all ages, races, convictions and attitudes is key. This obviously requires that you stand for most of the day so physical wellness is a must.The catch phrases ‘customer care’ and customer service’ are so often heard but so seldom really experienced.
Some people naturally want to, and are really talented at making others feel acknowledged, listened to, valued and heard.
There are many ways of doing this but the result of friendly, competent and efficient service is always the same, a happy and loyal customer.
