From 1975 to 1996, Humphrey was employed as a bank and vault teller for Hamilton Bank, later known as SunTrust Bank ("Bank"), of Johnson City, Tennessee.
When she became a vault teller in 1990, Humphrey acted as the head teller for ten of the Bank's branches; her responsibilities included counting the contents of the Bank's vault, which stored cash, loose coin, and food stamps, and conducting various transactions with the Federal Reserve Bank ("Reserve").
A vault teller obviously falls somewhere in the middle of this spectrum; Humphrey's level of discretion was greater than that of a regular teller but considerably less than that of a bank president.

 MY TIME LOCK COLLECTION
The purpose of a bank vault time lock is to keep the vault door locked until the timer runs down.
This was very important, since before the introduction of the timer in 1874, there was the nasty problem of bank robbers kidnapping the bank president or cashier; marching him down to the bank at night and forcing him to open the door.
Soon after the introduction of the first time lock to be installed on a vault door in 1874, they proved to be quite reliable (not to mention the peace of mind to bank personnel once the bad guys learned that they could not open the door) and were widely accepted to this day.

The Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) has also lifted the 40 per cent cap on foreign ownership of banks, effectively ending a dual share system which prevented foreign takeovers by dividing bank shares into those that can be owned by foreign investors and those that cannot.
Ms Deborah Schuler, a senior analyst at Moody's, said the MAS's measured rather than Big Bang approach to opening the banking sector may "indeed be the best to get the objectives they are seeking, which is to have at least a couple of major Singaporean players in the region".
However, she said that in the short run there was a chance of a shakeout in the industry.
