About your past
Tell me about a time you helped a customer who didn't speak English well, or who needed you to translate a financial concept into Spanish. How did you make sure they really understood?
What they are checking: whether the bilingual skill is genuinely used to build trust and comprehension, not just a checkbox on a resume
Give me an example from a past job where you noticed a customer had a need they didn't ask about directly, and you brought up a product or service that helped them.

Tell me about a time you made a mistake handling money or a transaction. What did you do next?

What they are checking: time management and prioritization under branch pressure
A customer wants to withdraw a large amount of cash and seems agitated or is being coached by someone on the phone. What do you do?

If a regular customer asked you to bend a policy just a little as a favor, what would you say and do?

About the work
What do you know about why banks have to verify identity and report certain transactions?
What they are checking: basic familiarity with Bank Secrecy Act and KYC concepts, or willingness to learn them quickly
