Which speed key is used for a transit check?

• A. Speed key for transit check
• B. Speed key for checking deposit
• C. Speed key for savings deposit
• D. Speed key for previous transactions

Answer: (A)

Speed keys are quick-access commands in the teller system that correspond to specific types of transactions. A transit check is a check moving through the clearing network between banks, so it needs to be handled with the function that recognizes its special status. Using the speed key labeled for transit checks ensures the item is posted and routed correctly as a transit item, with the appropriate holds, processing steps, and posting rules. If you select a speed key for a regular deposit or for previous transactions, the system would misclassify the item—posting it as a standard deposit or simply recalling past activity rather than treating it as an in-transit item.
