What a teller types
Teller line passages are transactions: an account, a date, a sum and a total. Amounts in words sets One thousand two hundred fifty and 75/100 dollars beside $1,250.75. New account passages are a customer's details, field by field. End of day passages are drawer counts and balancing sheets.
Every total adds up
Each sum was added and checked, so a total that looks wrong on your screen is a slip of yours. The one planned exception is End of day: a drawer that is over: the sheet expects $4,224.40 and the count is $4,244.40, one digit and twenty dollars apart.
For digits alone on the number pad, the adding-machine side of the job, use the number typing test.
Questions and answers
What typing speed does a bank teller need?
We found no public document that states one, so this page prints none. Ask the recruiter for the speed, the length of the test and whether it is words, numbers or both.
Is a bank teller typing test words or numbers?
That is the employer's choice, so ask. These passages mix both, as counter records do: names and field labels in letters, then account numbers, dates and sums. To read your speed in keystrokes per hour, take the KPH test.
Are the accounts and customers real?
No. Every person, account number, check number and sum was made up for this page, and no bank is named. Each telephone number is in 555-0100 to 555-0199, a range kept for fiction.
Why is my speed lower here than on plain sentences?
Sums and account numbers send your hands to the top row and to Shift: a dollar sign is Shift and 4. Compare a result here only with another run on these passages, not with a score on ordinary prose.

How this list was compiled: Sixteen passages written for this page in four kinds: teller line transactions, amounts written in words beside the figures, new account details and end-of-day tallies. Every person, account, check, reference and sum is invented, and no bank is named. The 6 customers' names were tested against the titles of English Wikipedia articles on 2026-10-09, and a name that an article carries is not used. The fees, denominations and procedures are made up for typing practice and describe no real bank; nothing here is financial advice. Every amount in words was written from its figures, every total, drawer count and balancing sheet was added up, and the words, characters and digits of each passage were counted. The 11 account numbers are seven digits each, written four, a hyphen, three, and no passage holds a longer run of digits. Every telephone number is in the range 555-0100 to 555-0199, which the North American Numbering Plan Administrator reserves for fictitious numbers (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fictitious_telephone_number, read 2026-10-09). That it became customary to write a check's amount in both words and figures, to prevent errors, is from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cheque (read 2026-10-09). No pass mark or required speed is given: none was found in a public document. Licence: own work
