Hi guys,
I worked as a teller at TD for about 2.5 years before accepting a job as a Financial Services Representative. A few months into the role, they started a program that changed my title from FSR to Personal Banking Associate. Now my duties pretty much remained unchanged except for one thing, I wasn't going to be selling mutual funds. I did give my Investment Funds in Canada exam and passed, but never actually received my license but my duties did include all of these (taken from the NOC website):

			Hi guys,
I worked as a teller at TD for about 2.5 years before accepting a job as a Financial Services Representative. A few months into the role, they started a program that changed my title from FSR to Personal Banking Associate. Now my duties pretty much remained unchanged except for one thing, I wasn't going to be selling mutual funds. I did give my Investment Funds in Canada exam and passed, but never actually received my license but my duties did include all of these (taken from the NOC website):
- Open new personal and non-personal accounts, and provide access to automated banking machine, telephone banking and online banking services
 - Interview applicants for personal, mortgage, student and business loans
 - Promote the sale of deposit, investment (I was ONLY doing GICs, not mutual funds) credit and loan products and services

 - Prepare statements on delinquent accounts and forward irreconcilable accounts for collector action
 - Review and update credit and loan files
 - Act as joint custodian for cash and securities. -- DON'T know what this one truly means..?
 
Employment requirements
- Completion of secondary school and extensive general banking experience is usually required.
 - A bachelor's degree or college diploma related to commerce or economics may be required.
 - A mutual funds licence is usually required. - THIS is what worries me, I did give my exam but never got my license 

 - Registration with the securities regulatory authority in the province or territory of employment is usually required. - Didn't do this either, cuz wasn't selling mutual funds.
 - Completion of a loan or credit training program, ranging from six to twelve months, is usually required.
 - Various training programs and courses are offered by the Institute of Canadian Bankers and may be required by employers.
 - Financial services officers who sell regulated financial products and investments are required to be licensed by the appropriate governing body.
