The teller is typically the first person the customer encounters when they walk into a bank. Tellers process a variety of routine financial transactions (check cashing, withdrawals, deposits, loan payments, etc.) and accurately balance these transactions while maintaining friendly and positive relationships with customers and coworkers. This is an entry level position and is the first step towards a banking career for many employees. Responsibilities include:

• Operate a teller drawer to serve customers and bank personnel in lobby or drive up.


• Recognize potential cross-sell opportunities and direct customers to appropriate bank personnel.


• Develop skills to recognize potential fraud and report to management as necessary. Comply with all department, bank and regulatory policies and procedures. Uphold established Wintrust culture.


• May be responsible for bank opening/closing and may be required to participate in community events.
