Analysis of Current AI Resilience
Tellers
Updated Quarterly • Last Update: 11/22/2025
State of Automation & Augmentation
Many routine teller tasks are already supported by technology today. For example, banks today use smart ATMs and deposit kiosks so customers can deposit cash and checks without a human teller, and software tools help tellers count and verify money. One report notes that “enhanced ATMs” can perform clerical work (like issuing cards or spotting fake bills) and let tellers focus on complex tasks [1].
Research also shows that AI image‐scanning can read and verify check amounts and signatures very accurately (over 99% accuracy in one study) [2]. In other words, computers and machines already handle most hatcounting, data entry, and basic checking tasks. In fact, an official occupational resource rates tellers as about 40% automated (moderately automated) [3].
At the same time, many teller duties still need people. Highly personal activities – like fixing confusing account problems or giving advice – have resisted automation. Tools like chatbots or video-teller kiosks can answer easy questions, but staff still step in when things get tricky.
Industry analysts note that banks are redesigning branches so tellers become “relationship bankers” rather than cash handlers [4]. In short, smart machines take care of routine counting and computer entry, while human tellers handle the personal side.

AI Adoption
Banks are adopting technology at a careful pace. On the plus side, AI and automation can save money and time. Customers enjoy doing simple tasks (like depositing a check via an app) on their own, so banks invest in digital tools [4].
Upgrading branches with smart ATMs or AI software can reduce errors and lower long-term staff costs [1]. Tellers earn around $18–19 per hour [1], so once systems are built, computers can be cheaper for repetitive work.
On the other hand, wholesale AI rollout faces hurdles. Banking is highly regulated and extremely sensitive – mistakes can cost customers dearly – so banks move slowly to ensure safety. Customers (especially older ones) still value face-to-face service for complex issues.
Social trust and legal rules mean banks won’t eliminate people entirely overnight. In fact, a U.S. bureau of labor forecast still expects many teller jobs to remain through 2030. Overall, banks seem to be using AI and machines to augment tellers’ work rather than replace them completely [1] [4].
This allows tellers to learn new skills (like using digital tools and advising customers) while routine tasks get automated. In short, computers handle the boring parts, and people handle the personal parts, which helps explain why big change in teller jobs is happening carefully over time.
