This role included a vast amount of responsibility and strict adherence to audit, compliance and security procedures. The position also required constant retraining and regular revision of legal guidelines and policies. Peak season in a foreign currency setting is extremely fast paced and high pressured, requiring excellent focus and accuracy without ever compromising on efficiency or jeopardising the customers' experience. The ability to work quickly and effectively both alone and as a team is essential in this role as whilst it is a 'one man' bureau, staff change overs are in depth and thorough to ensure nothing is missed or neglected, particularly in busy periods. The fact that I worked alone for most of my shifts means I am adept at serving customers whilst also handling paperwork and strict administrative demands of the bureau; working and making decisions based on my own initiative was a necessity in my day to day tasks. These included placing, processing and accepting currency deliveries, liaising with suppliers and other branches to fulfill customer orders and general duties such as cleaning, organising in store promotion days, ordering stationery and banking reconciliation.
