English term or phrase: teller
What it'll take to get there is dedication. Many CIOs bring back tidbits from informal encounters with customers outside the office. "I heard from my neighbor that our bank's branch in town could really use a Spanish-speaking teller..." That's helpful, but limited. To be most valuable, collecting customer intelligence must be a sustained and focused effort that permeates not just the IT group but the whole company, says Michael Capone, CIO of Automatic Data Processing (ADP), a $9.9 billion human resources and payroll provider.

agree  Oceanwide: 也叫“柜员机”。从有限的上下文来看,这是IT人员带来的其他银行信息,这儿所关注的也是别人采用了什么先进技术。另外,如果这个资料是有关美国的公司,那讲西班牙语的出纳,根本就算不得什么新鲜事,因西语是美国第二大语言,很多人都会讲,讲西语的出纳或服务员有的是。。

银行柜台(窗口)出纳员


Explanation:
Tellers, it seems to me, refer only to employees in a bank. And in the passage given by Clearwater, a teller is obviously a person, not a machine (even if machines now do much of the work a human teller does).
I put 窗口 in parentheses because that term is also often used.

A check in dictionaries (such as Collins Cobuild, Merrian-Webster, Far EASt English-Chinese) specified (asnd implied) that a teller works with a bank, and at a teller window.
