Financial Institution Tellers, Clerks, and Related Workers

Certification, Licensing, and Special Requirements

Certification or Licensing

There is no certification or licensing available for financial institution tellers, clerks, and related workers.

Other Requirements

Banks occasionally require lie detector tests of applicants, as well as fingerprint and background investigations if the job requires handling currency and finances. Those employees handling money or having access to confidential financial information may have to qualify for a personal bond. Some banks now require pre-employment drug testing, and random testing for drugs while under employment is becoming more typical.
