What is a bank clerk?
Whenever you visit a bank, either to deposit/withdraw money, or to open an account, or for loan enquiry, or any other work, you first go to cash counter/relationship counter. The employee sitting at that counter is actually a bank clerk!
So you now know that, "An employee of a bank who deals with customers, receives and pays out money, keeps records, etc. is a Bank Clerk".
A bank clerk is the first person to contact in a bank. He is the primary point of contact for the customers, and keeps record of all the ongoing banking transactions and answers all the enquiries.
