What would you do

You have a phone line ringing, three chats open and a payment to process. How do you handle it?

How do you decide whether to solve a question yourself or hand it to another department?

What is a short pay, and how would you handle one when the customer and branch disagree?

What they are checking: Whether they understand short pays and can gather facts from both sides before deciding who needs to act.

Walk me through the basic accounting when a customer payment is applied to an invoice.

What they are checking: Whether they understand debits and credits to cash and receivables well enough to spot a wrong posting.

How do you write an email to a customer that clearly explains what happened with their payment?

What they are checking: Whether their written communication is clear and specific enough that the customer does not need to call back.
