Banks have a complex and disparate set of daily, weekly and monthly operational tasks. So much so that Operational Banker is a role within them. The nature of this role and it’s tasks are so diverse, specific and unrelated that it is a difficult list of tasks for anyone unfamiliar with them. These include safety checks when opening the bank in the morning, checking till amounts, validating large cash payments and many more.
In many ways they are the junk drawer of critical tasks that are required to run a bank. The staff who carry them out have their own specialist jobs – The role of Operational Banker is like being a violin expert who has to learn a few chords perfectly on every instrument with out being able to play any of them.
