Employers
Today, there are nearly 70,000 FDIC-insured commercial bank branches in the United States, according to Statista.com. Branch managers are employed by banks, credit unions, and other financial institutions. Opportunities are available throughout the country, in small towns and large cities.
Starting Out
Many branch managers worked their way up from entry-level positions such as tellers and customer service representatives. Participating in internships and other experiential learning opportunities during college is also a good strategy to obtain experience, build your network, and possibly land a full-time job.
Contact banks, credit unions, and related employers directly to learn about entry-level job opportunities. Visiting a branch office to request a job application or visiting the company’s Web site are effective job-search strategies. Additionally, visit the American Bankers Association’s Web site, for job listings.
