What college do you have to go to be a bank teller?

Answer 1

Most teller positions do not require any special education, but you may be more likely to get the bank teller job if you have an associates degree or a bachelor's degree, especially if you want to make banking your career.

It is beneficial to have good communication and customer service skills that allow you to establish a rapport with the customers enabling you to cross-sell other products.

The bank will train you in the use of their software which is fairly easy to use, it just takes time and repetition before you become comfortable in using it.

Answer 2

No, but if you want to be able to move up in the bank you will likely do it better and faster with a business degree. As a current employee with JP Morgan Chase, I would agree with the above answer. It's possible to get high-yeilding jobs without a degree, particularly if you have experience in the field (ie getting an entry-level bank teller job and then applying with a different bank one to two years later for a personal banker or assistant branch manager position). I will stress once again, though, that generally, no college degree is necessary for a bank teller's position.

Answer 3

Most banks will provide training. You don't need additional training beyond high school. However, it is worth noting that many of these jobs are part time and may include sales of other bank products.

Answer 4

Bank tellers require a high school diploma or GED. A college degree is not necessary to find work, but a two year associate or 4 year bachelors degree in maths, finance or business might help one get hired or promoted. Education in a second language can also help finding work with banks looking for applicants fluent in foreign languages.
