A Teller role falls under retail branch banking, and most bank career paths from teller eventually lead up to becoming a Branch Manager. Starting as a Teller, the growth path can take two directions:
- Operations Track: Teller → Teller Authoriser/Supervisor → Branch Operations Manager.
However, those who stick to non-sales, operations-oriented roles may find their growth limited, as the Branch Manager position is primarily a business and sales-driven role. - Sales & Business Track (Faster Growth): Teller → Personal Banker / Customer Service Officer → Relationship Manager → Assistant Branch Manager / Deputy Manager → Branch Manager.
This path offers quicker promotions and higher earning potential, since it aligns with the bank’s business targets.
In either track, your performance, product knowledge, and customer service skills will play a key role in promotions and long-term career success.
