Bank Teller resume keywords
Most bank teller applications are screened by software before a person reads them: the ATS ranks resumes by how many of the posting's words they contain. The lists below are the terms that show up most in bank teller job ads. Use the ones that are true for you, with the same spelling the ad uses.
Hard skills and ATS keywords
- Cash handling
- Transaction processing
- Customer service
- Product referrals
- Fraud prevention
- Balancing
- Banking software (Fiserv)
- Compliance (BSA/AML)
- Cash handling
- Cash drawer balancing
- Deposits and withdrawals
- Fraud detection
- KYC / AML
- Cross-selling

Soft skills recruiters look for
- Accuracy
- Integrity
- Friendliness
- Composure
- Attention to detail
Soft skills only count when a bullet proves them. "Team player" is ignored; "Process about 120 deposits, withdrawals and payments a day." shows it.
Action verbs to start your bullets
- Processed
- Balanced
- Referred
- Detected
- Served
- Resolved
- Maintained
- Opened
How to use these keywords
- Mirror the job ad: if it says "Cash handling", do not write a synonym.
- Put the top 6–8 in a skills section and repeat the key ones inside experience bullets with a number.
- Never list a skill you cannot talk about in an interview.
- Keep the file text-based (no skills inside images or tables), or the ATS cannot read it.
