• Your contribution to branch sales, service, and referral goals.

What You’ll Do

• Process deposits, withdrawals, check cashing, loan payments and payoffs, official checks, money orders, cash advances, and other member transactions accurately.

• Open and service consumer accounts while ensuring required identification, signatures, documentation, and security clearances are complete.

• Ask thoughtful questions to understand each member’s needs and recommend appropriate financial solutions.

• Conduct consumer loan interviews, assist with applications and documentation, and keep members informed throughout the process.

• Make effective referrals to Metro partners when a member would benefit from additional expertise.

• Resolve member concerns by identifying the root cause, explaining available solutions, and following through to resolution.

• Balance daily work within established guidelines and protect confidential member information.

• Serve as a branch keyholder with responsibility for opening or closing the location as assigned.

All branch employees are scheduled to support full business-hour coverage, including rotating Saturday shifts.
