Position Summary

The Customer Service Center Representative is primarily responsible for answering customer calls and resolving customer service inquiries received by phone, email, voicemail, and other approved service channels. The role supports customers with account questions, online and mobile banking, debit card and ATM matters, service requests, documentation research, and issue follow-up.
