Description

Our Wire Transfer team moves money safely and on time. In this role you'll process incoming and outgoing wires, confirm they're legitimate before they go out, and help branch staff and customers get their transfers done right and on schedule.

You don't need a banking background to start. We'll teach you the systems, the deadlines, and the security steps. We're looking for someone careful, focused, and calm under a deadline.

Whether you're passionate about finance, technology or helping others - a career at First National Bank offers a world of opportunity to grow and succeed. Work collaboratively with a team while having fun and providing product and technical support knowledge to customers. In return, we have a lot to offer. This fulltime position offers competitive pay, time off, 401(k) with match, insurance benefits and a bonus plan. Opportunities for personal growth and professional development, tuition support, paid volunteer hours and more. And yes, a real opportunity to make a difference in the place where you live. We foster a comfortable and modern workplace with a business casual dress code that is uniquely relaxed for a banking environment, which includes the added perk of wearing jeans all winter long. We are proud to be on the 2025 & 2026 list of Best Places to Work in Maine.

What you'll do

Process wires.

Send and receive domestic and international wire transfers, making sure every detail is correct before money moves.

Wires have firm daily cutoff times. You'll keep transfers moving so nothing misses the window.

Help people.

Answer calls and emails from branch staff and customers about wire requests, status, and questions, and give them clear answers.

Watch for fraud.

Learn to spot suspicious requests and scams (wire fraud is a constant target) and flag them to the right people before money leaves.

Keep clean records.

Document each wire accurately and follow the procedures that keep us compliant.

Pitch in.

Other tasks as the team needs them.
