How it's used
This term is primarily used in formal or professional contexts, such as on a job description or in a bank's internal documentation. In casual daily conversation, people are much more likely to use the English loanword 櫃位員 or simply refer to the person by their workplace, like 銀行職員.

Common mistake
Do not confuse this with the general term 會計, which refers to an accountant. While an accountant deals with financial records and bookkeeping, an 出納員 specifically focuses on the physical handling of cash and daily transactions.
