What should tellers do regarding temporary checks vs re-ordering?

• A. Always encourage temporary checks over re-ordering
• B. Do not offer either
• C. Recommend to customers to cancel their account
• D. Re-order checks instead of getting temporary checks

Answer: (D)

The main idea is to prioritize issuing a standard re-order of checks rather than providing temporary checks. Re-ordered checks are printed securely with the customer’s current account details, routing, and printing quality, which makes them safe to use and easy to reconcile on statements. They reduce the risk of fraud and errors that can happen with temporary checks, which are interim and often not as secure or complete for long-term use. So, the best practice is to guide customers to re-order checks. Temporary checks are only a short-term stopgap for emergencies, not a substitute for a full, secure check set. The other options don’t align with this approach because they either push an interim solution (which carries more risk or inconvenience) or are unnecessary actions that don’t serve the customer’s security or accounting needs.
