My previous cover letter was really weak and I used to spend hours adjusting it in Word. Now, I can introduce any changes within minutes. Absolutely wonderful!

The first sample cover letter for a bank teller comes from Angie, who has several years of experience on the job.
This bank is searching for a Lead Teller, so it requires someone with a good understanding of every facet of bank teller responsibilities.
Angie must show she knows what it’s like to handle all aspects of transactions, cross-selling and upselling financial products, as well as prove any management experience she might have. Let’s see how she handles writing a banking cover letter:

Having had an account open at Bank of America for 6 years now, I was delighted to see an open Lead Bank Teller position in your Alpharetta branch. With 4+ years of experience in providing friendly and professional customer service and error-free operation at Chase, I believe I have what it takes.
In the job listing, you mention you are looking for someone with bank teller experience. At Chase, I process 35+ transactions per hour, error-free. In the past year, I have been commended twice by my manager for cross-selling and upselling our products. My attention to detail and meticulous record-keeping doesn’t just prevent mistakes—it prevents fraud, too. In my 4+ years, I have thwarted 10+ checking scams that targeted elderly customers. Of course, I do this with a smile—I scored 100% on a mystery shopper customer service assessment—nailing the pleasantries, as well as the formal script elements. For this reason, ever since, I have been assigned with onboarding new hires, 5 so far. I am more than prepared to take over the Lead Teller role at Bank of America.
When doing my own personal banking, I have always been impressed by the level of customer service and the knowledge of staff at your bank. I have held an account with you since I became an adult, and I feel like it is time to give something back and contribute my bank teller experience to providing world-class service at Bank of America.
Can we schedule a call or a meeting to discuss how I can use cross-selling, customer service, and fraud prevention experience to lead a successful team of tellers at your bank?
With a Lead Bank Teller cover letter like this, the doors to any vault will open.
Need a sample cover letter for teller positions with no experience? We got you. Here’s another bank teller cover letter from Mark. He’s applying for an entry-level bank teller job, which has similar responsibilities to Angie’s cover letter—minus people management responsibilities.
He has no relevant experience, but his bank teller cover letter makes the best use of what he has to offer to land this job.
