What this task is

Filling in and processing transfer and remittance forms for customers, checking payee details carefully, and sending interbank or international payments on their behalf through the bank's systems.

How AI replaces it

From 2012, online and mobile banking let customers transfer money themselves at any time, and real-time payment systems made transfers near-instant. By 2020, counter transfers and remittances were largely replaced.

What stays human

Tellers mainly handle large, international or unusual transactions that need manual review, and actively warn and help customers, especially older ones, to avoid scams and fraudulent transfers.
