Vault Teller

A typical day involves opening the vault under dual control, processing cash and coin orders for tellers, balancing the vault throughout the day, processing armored car deliveries and pickups, and balancing at end of shift. You'll often work with significant cash volumes under strict procedural controls — every action requires verification and documentation. Audit discipline matters because vault discrepancies are taken seriously.

Coordination involves operations management, branch tellers receiving cash, armored car carriers, sometimes Federal Reserve cash handling partners, and AML compliance teams when transactions cross reporting thresholds. The role is often more secure and less customer-facing than line teller work, with different operational characteristics.

People who tend to thrive here are methodical, comfortable with cash handling discipline at scale, and unbothered by working in a controlled secure environment. If you need customer interaction or varied work, the vault rhythm can feel narrow. If you find satisfaction in handling significant cash volumes accurately and being the person whose work supports the entire branch's operations, the role can feel quietly substantial.
