free checking

Costless bank account

Free checking is a bank account that doesn't charge monthly maintenance fees or require minimum balances.

The "free" typically applies to basic services—deposits, withdrawals, and a debit card—while extras like overdraft protection or paper statements may still cost money.

Most banks offer free checking if you set up direct deposit.
