Hi Sania,
The best way to become a bank manager is to get a part time job in a bank and see if you want to make banking a career.
If you find you like it, I would pursue a position in a bank manager training program. There are many banks that have these programs. Checkout bank websites or work parttime in a bank that has a program and then express interest in the program,
You probably need to take some sales classes since it is also a sales role. You need to pursue deposits and make loans. There will be sales quotas nvolved.
Good luck
Nick

I will share with your my career path. I am a Financial center Manager currently. before I started as a teller/cashier and worked for 6 moths but during this I was always eager to learn and be a step ahead. So when a career or a position would become available I would be ready and not start from beginning. After I was a teller- I applied for a relationship banker/csr position and started to learn an operational supervisor job on the job learning. I would learn different tasks and always ask for additional assignments as I wanted to progress fast and not wait . after I became a supervisor -I applied for an assistant manager position within a different financial institution and got the job. on the job I was not only performing my job but also doing and learning how to be a Bank Manager as this was my next step.
Being a Bank Manager- tackles different competencies and some people underestimate what it’s like to be a manager- as a manager you need be able to solve difficult problems for clients, you need to coach your associates, many times you will b heaving difficult performance conversations with your associates. You need to be able to lead and develop one team and delivery expected performance results.
so you need to choose do you want to be a go to manager, do you have the ability to lead diversified teams- can you bring the team together, can you motivate daily and can you hold accountable to daily results.

Hello - I think this question translates across businesses, but a few things to consider when striving to become a manager:
1. Know the business and its products/services very well
2. Know how to manage costs and maximize profits
3. Know how to hire/develop/retain talent
4. Have a strong grasp of the regulations
Often times, you start out in a junior role (internship/part-time etc.), but through dedication, hard work, building strong relationships and knowing how/when to "ask for what you want", may put you in prime position for the promotion you are seeking.
