Analysis of Current AI Resilience
New Accounts Clerks
Updated Quarterly • Last Update: 11/11/2025
State of Automation & Augmentation
New Accounts Clerks handle many routine tasks – entering customer data, filing forms, explaining services, collecting deposits and issuing receipts [1]. Today, banks often automate these processes. For example, banks use software “robots” (RPA) to enter account information and reconcile records [2].
AI chatbots (NLP virtual assistants) can answer common customer questions and even help process forms [2]. Physical tasks are automated too: modern scanners and ATMs now read and process deposits without human input [2]. Historically, the introduction of ATM machines significantly reduced teller work by handling routine deposits and withdrawals [3].
However, tasks that need judgment or personal service – like resolving a tricky account error or helping a customer choose a financial product – still largely require a person. In short, many core tasks of New Accounts Clerks are now supported or done by software, but complex issues still need human help.

AI Adoption
Banks have several reasons to adopt AI quickly. There are about 40,500 New Accounts Clerks in the U.S. with a mean wage of about $41,000 [4], so automating their routine work could save money. McKinsey notes that banks have struggled with low employee productivity despite high tech spending [5], giving even more incentive to use AI for efficiency.
In fact, surveys show most banks are already building or using AI for support tasks (one report found 85% of financial firms were developing AI for clerical work [2]).
At the same time, AI adoption in banking can be slow. Banks operate under strict regulations (for example, identity and fraud checks) and must ensure any automated system is safe and fair. Customers often trust human tellers for complex or urgent problems, so banks may be cautious.
Early chatbot experiments sometimes frustrated users [6], teaching banks to roll out AI gradually. High implementation costs and the need for security also slow things down. Overall, banks are steadily automating routine tasks for efficiency, but they balance this against customer trust and regulatory concerns, so full AI takeover happens step by step [5] [6].
