Love everything to do with money and banking? If you love helping others with their finances, then these remote banking jobs are right up your alley!
Whether you’re an experienced banking professional or looking to break into the world of finance, these 16 remote banking jobs are perfect for you.
Benefits of Working in the Banking Industry
It may go without saying, but working in one of the country’s biggest industries comes with a lot of perks! Across the board, many banks and financial institutions offer excellent compensation and benefits. This goes doubly so for remote customer service jobs, where financial institutions typically offer above-average pay, frequently paying $43,986 annually.
No matter what job field you’re interested in, though, there are usually lots of opportunities for career advancement within the banking industry.
Many financial institutions utilize proprietary software and systems, dedicate anywhere from weeks to months toward training, subsidize your courses and exams for licensing, and let you in on a lot of valuable trade secrets. That often means that, especially for the bigger financial companies, there’s a lot of incentive to keep you as an employee, and you’ll see team members rewarded for their loyalty and longevity with the company.
Banking Job Requirements
While it’s easy to be intimidated by remote banking jobs, there’s no need to be! Banks and financial institutions offer plenty of opportunities to get your foot in the door with entry-level positions. While a bachelor’s degree or more specialized financial experience is often preferred, many remote banking customer service and call center jobs simply ask for general customer service experience, a high school diploma or GED, and a clean background check.
Many entry-level positions like remote bank tellers and financial services representatives offer top-of-the-line, on-the-job training, and then you can leverage that training and experience to later move up in the company.
