The first week of October kicks off Teller Appreciation week, which has been celebrated every year since 1996. Our tellers are the front-line of our business and we want to thank them for all the hard work they do to make our customers' experience a great one!

What better way to celebrate each of our stellar tellers than by getting to know them a little better. Read on for a few fun facts about each of our team members.

Do you collect anything?
I collect magnets from places I’ve visited. One of my favorites is a small stuffed elephant from Bangkok’s Chatuchak Weekend Market.

What is your most prized possession?
As a blessing of good fortune during the Hmong New Year, my parents gave me $20 worth of one dollar bills when I was younger. I was told to never use it as it will continue to bring me good financial fortune in my future. I still have the bundle – not sure if the blessing worked; I am still working on that million dollars. 😉 😃 

What is the most ridiculous thing you believed as a child?
I used to think the mound in my grandparent’s back yard was a grave and a dead person lived there, I now know it was just the septic tank.
