check register

Balance tracking booklet

A check register is a booklet or ledger for recording checks written against a bank account, along with deposits and other transactions.

It typically accompanies a checkbook, allowing the account holder to track their running balance: I forgot to record that check in the register, so my balance was off.

Digital banking has largely replaced paper registers, though some people still maintain them.
