How to explain a Bank Teller to your child

A Bank Teller works at the counter of a bank, right where people walk in and say hello. They count money, add it to people's accounts, and hand it over when someone needs it. For example, a neighbor might bring in a check, and the teller types it into the computer, counts out the bills, and gives back a small paper receipt. Other bankers often sit at desks to talk about big plans, like loans, but a teller helps with everyday money, one person at a time.

People need a friendly place to keep their money safe and to get it back when they need it. A teller double-checks every number, so the amount in the account is just right. If someone is unsure what to do, the teller explains it slowly, like how to fill in a deposit slip. Then the person leaves knowing their money is exactly where it belongs.
