Customer Specialist

Have you ever wanted to work for a company that exceptionally lives its values? One hundred and fifty years ago, we began as a small community bank. Today, we are still a community bank – as well as a payroll processing team, a marketing agency, a coffee shop, and more. We have flipped the switch on traditional banking. Yet, we have always aimed to provide the very best customer experience, contribute to the greater good of our local communities, and make every effort to be the best employer in the area with a company culture that works hard to develop, recognize, and award its team members. 

The Customer Specialist position is a front-line position providing customer service to bank clients both in the branch and at the drive thru. This position will conduct the full spectrum of banking service, from evaluating what Richwood Bank account a customer would fit best in, to how to open it and transact funds.

Richwood Bank prides itself on unique company culture and all team members should be active and engaged participants.
