I'm working in the banking industry and not loving it. I first started out in the food service industry but the high stress got to me and I was having major anxiety issues. I really love working with people but conflict isn't a strong trait. I do work on it though. Recently, I have been looking into tech jobs. I need the better pay, and would love any advice you could give! Thanks in advance!

Find ways to become the most proficient person on your banks software and then apply at that company.

Moving into tech is a great idea! My daughter was in banking after college and not happy. She moved into tech a couple of years ago and now she's a Junior DBA and MUCH happier! Tech firms tend to have better benefits in addition to paying more - they have to do so in order to be competitive.
I'd advise you to identify a tech path in which you are interested and work on acquiring the skills it requires.
