Bank Teller Assessment Quiz!

The purpose of a Trial Balance is to allow the teller to perform a spot audit of the drawer's current cash position, giving them time to correct any errors before closing. It also helps in setting a balanced point for reference in case a balance problem occurs at closing.

A Teller Override is an override that allows one teller to perform certain actions without needing a supervisor's password. It is triggered when a policy override is needed. In contrast, a Supervisor Override also allows for certain actions to be performed, but it requires a supervisor's password. While both overrides serve similar purposes, the main difference lies in the level of authorization required.

The tool that can assist in finding a customer's account number is "Account Lookup" from the Page Functions. This tool allows the user to search for a customer's account number by inputting relevant information such as the customer's name or account details. It provides a convenient and efficient way to retrieve account numbers and access customer information.

The correct answer is "By using Account Inquiry from the Page Functions." This is because the Account Inquiry function allows you to view and verify the account signers associated with a particular account. It provides detailed information about the account, including the names and signatures of the authorized signers. This feature helps in ensuring the accuracy and validity of the account signers.

A Trial Balance should be performed as often as time permits, but at least twice per business day, at the open of each business day and following a mid-shift break. This ensures that any discrepancies or errors in the accounts can be identified and corrected in a timely manner. Performing the Trial Balance multiple times throughout the day helps to maintain the accuracy and integrity of the financial records.

When performing a transaction with multiple accounts of different types, a cash out is not required to allow for deposit into accounts with different account types. This statement is false. Different account types, such as savings and checking accounts, can usually be linked together within the same banking institution, allowing for easy transfers and deposits between them without the need for a cash out.

An endorsement refers to a signature on the back of a negotiable instrument that transfers ownership to another party. There are five types of endorsements: blank or unqualified endorsement, special endorsement (such as "Pay to the order of ABC Company"), restrictive endorsement (such as "for deposit only"), qualified endorsement (such as "Pay to ABC Bank, without recourse"), and conditional endorsement (such as "Pay XYZ Company upon completion of contract").

When a transaction is deleted from Vertex, it will reverse any applicable memo postings and adjust the current cash position of the teller's drawer. However, it will not completely remove any trace of the transaction's existence from the Vertex history. This means that there will still be some record or indication of the transaction in the system, even though it has been deleted.

Capitol Bancorp uses a batch proof process to post transactions for customers' accounts. This process involves using transaction documents that are hard posted to the affected accounts, adjusting the collected balances. This is done through a nightly optical capture proof process. Additionally, records of the transaction and applicable memo posts that affect the available balances are created using the Vertex Teller Automation system when the transaction details are entered by the Teller.

A Currency Transaction Report (CTR) is created when a single transaction or the aggregate total cash deposit or withdrawal is $10,000.01 or greater in the same processing period. This means that if a single transaction or the total amount of cash deposits or withdrawals exceeds $10,000.01 within a specific period of time, a CTR must be created. This helps to monitor and report any potentially suspicious or fraudulent activities involving large sums of money.

The correct answer is to recount the Vault and all other tellers' cash position to verify the error is not elsewhere other than the teller's drawer in question. This step is not necessary because the question states that the difference is not found within an actual count of the cash. Therefore, recounting the Vault and other tellers' cash position would not help in identifying the error. Instead, the other steps mentioned such as performing a comprehensive review of the actual teller work, verifying starting and ending teller figures, and reviewing Cash Ins and Outs on the General Ledger should be taken to find the error.

The correct answer states that for an instrument to be negotiable under the Uniform Commercial Code, it must be a written instrument, an unconditional promise to pay any amount of money, either on demand or at a future date, and payable to the holder or bearer. This means that the instrument must be in writing, the promise to pay must be absolute and not subject to any conditions, and it must be payable to the person in possession of the instrument or to anyone who bears it.

A cash difference refers to an out-of-balance condition that occurs during the balancing process and is not reversed. This means that there is either a shortage or overage in the cash supply, and this condition is not corrected or adjusted. It could be due to errors in counting or recording cash transactions. The answer choice "An out-of-balance condition which is not reversed" accurately describes this situation.
