Checking Account Basics

What is a checking account?

A checking account is where you deposit money. It allows you to keep your money in a bank to write checks when you need to pay for something or get cash. Checks are written orders to tell your bank to pay money to someone else.

Opening a checking account is a good first step to managing your cash and credit. Checking accounts help you keep track of your money, pay your bills on time, and obtain credit--and it could save you over $1000 a year!
