Member Centricity - Advanced - The Teller is the most frequent face-to-face point of contact CUTX has with members; tone, accuracy, and warmth directly shape member loyalty.

Sales & Needs Identification - Intermediate - The Teller is expected to surface member needs and recommend appropriate CUTX solutions to support branch growth.

AI Literacy - Foundational - The role uses AI-assisted prompts and knowledge tools (Tier 2) and is responsible for human-in-the-loop review on every member-facing output.

AI & Technology Expectations

AI Tier and Human-in-the-Loop Responsibility

• Apply human-in-the-loop review on every AI-suggested product recommendation, knowledge answer, or risk prompt before acting with or speaking to the member.
• Stop reliance on AI output and escalate immediately if the output appears inaccurate, biased, non-compliant, or outside the role's documented scope (Generative AI Usage Policy §3.5).
• Refrain from entering member NPI, confidential CUTX information, or material non-public information into any AI tool not explicitly approved for that data classification.
