Bank Teller Work in Phoenix

Teller jobs in Phoenix follow the branch map: the Camelback Road corridor from west Phoenix to 20th Street, 7th Street and Central Avenue in north-central Phoenix, the Greenway Parkway area in north Phoenix, and the busy suburban branches in Glendale, Peoria, Chandler, Gilbert and Scottsdale. The Valley also has strong local credit unions, including Desert Financial, founded in 1939 by 15 Arizona teachers and now running more than 50 branches from its headquarters on 48th Street, and OneAZ Credit Union, based on Pinnacle Peak Road in north Phoenix.

The job title is changing here as it is nationally. Chase now hires "Associate Bankers" and Bank of America hires "Relationship Bankers" for work that combines the teller window with opening accounts and referring clients to lending. Part-time schedules are common: Chase's Valley associate banker jobs are 30-hour positions, OneAZ posts part-time tellers, and Wells Fargo's part-time teller jobs require Saturdays.

Bank Teller Salaries in Phoenix

• Entry level: about $17 to $19 an hour for new and part-time tellers.
• Experienced: roughly $21 to $23 an hour, around the Phoenix-Mesa-Chandler median of $22.14.
• Senior: $24 to $28 an hour for head tellers, lead tellers and universal or relationship bankers.

These are estimates based on BLS 2025 wage data for the Phoenix-Mesa-Chandler metro, where the 10th percentile is $18.89 and the 90th is $28.11, and on current Valley postings. Bilingual English and Spanish skills, banker titles that add account opening and sales goals, and full-time hours all push pay up. Arizona's 2026 minimum wage is $15.15, so every teller job here starts above it.

How to Become a Bank Teller in Phoenix

You need a high school diploma or GED and some cash handling or customer service experience; Wells Fargo asks for six months of customer-facing work and Chase lists client service experience. Expect a background check, and credit unions such as OneAZ also run a credit check. Arizona has no state license for tellers: the Arizona Department of Insurance and Financial Institutions regulates state-chartered banks and credit unions, not the people who work their windows.

A degree is not required, but Maricopa Community Colleges offers a 27-credit Banking and Finance certificate and a Banking and Finance AAS at GateWay Community College and Phoenix College, and Rio Salado College runs a Bank Account Management certificate for employees of its partner institutions. ARIZONA@WORK City of Phoenix, with job centers at 4635 S Central Ave and 3406 N 51st Ave, offers free resume and interview help.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you need a license to be a bank teller in Arizona?

No. Arizona has no teller license. Banks and credit unions run their own background checks, and some also check credit, but you do not need any state certificate before you apply.

How much do bank tellers make in Phoenix?

BLS 2025 data puts the Phoenix-Mesa-Chandler median at $22.14 an hour. New and part-time tellers commonly start around $17 to $19, and experienced tellers and bankers reach $24 to $28.

Are there part-time bank teller jobs in Phoenix?

Yes, and they are common. Chase's Valley associate banker jobs are 30-hour positions, and Wells Fargo and OneAZ Credit Union both post part-time teller roles in the Valley.

A teller mainly handles cash transactions at the window. Associate, universal and relationship bankers do the same cash work but also open accounts and connect customers to loans and investments, which is why many Phoenix branches now hire under those titles.

Do bank tellers work weekends in Phoenix?

Often. Wells Fargo's part-time teller posting in north Phoenix requires Saturday availability, and Bank of America's Phoenix relationship bankers must be able to work weekends or extended hours. Ask about the branch's Saturday schedule at the interview.
