checking accounts
Banks' transactional offerings
Checking accounts are bank accounts designed for frequent transactions—deposits, withdrawals, and payments.
Unlike savings accounts, they typically offer unlimited access to funds through checks, debit cards, and electronic transfers.
The tradeoff is minimal or no interest earned.
