I am pretty sure you can have an degree and be a bank teller. But if you want to move up, you might want to minor in business administration.

Avianne’s Answer
Usually, yes. Bank tellers receive on the job training that prepares them for their role. It may be more attractive to have a background in either business, finance or accounting however, especially if you'd like to move up into management one day.

You do not need a college degree to be a bank teller. And, better yet, as an employee, most banks will pay for (or, at least, a portion of) your college tuition if you go to school at nights/weekends or on line while remaining employed (that is how I got my masters). A bank teller is a great way to start in banking! I would recommend applying for any open teller positions you see in your area and go from there.
Hope that helps and good luck!

It does not normally take a college degree to be a bank teller; however, a business degree may give you an advantage. It will also likely give you an advantage in moving up within the bank once you have the job.
