TELLER. An officer in a bank or other institution. He is said to take that 
name from tallier, or one who kept a tally, because it is his duty to keep 
the accounts between the bank or other institution and its customers, or to 
make their accounts tally. In another sense teller signifies a person 
appointed to receive votes. In England the name of teller is given to 
certain officers in the exchequer.
