Checking Accounts Easy access to your funds. Write checks or use debit cards. Different types of accounts with different options or packages. Evaluate the different accounts terms and benefits before deciding. Many banks will require a minimum deposit of $50 - $100 to open a checking account.
Savings Accounts A place for you to save money. You can make deposits and withdrawals. Banks typically pay interest on money in savings accounts. Interest is calculated as a percentage of what you have saved. Minimum deposit required to open account. May charge fee if balance falls below specified minimum.
Money Market Accounts Banks offer customers money market accounts in order to have the funds to insure money market transactions. Similar to a savings account. Requires a higher balance to avoid monthly fees. Interest rates vary regularly based on money markets. Limited check writing privileges.
Certificate of Deposit (CD) Allows you to invest your money with a set interest rate for a pre-set period of time. Higher interest rate, as money is inaccessible. Life of a certificate ranges from a few months to several years. Early withdrawal carries substantial penalty.

The statement will reflect a summary of all transactions, and a breakdown of every transaction within the period. You can use this statement to balance your account against the information you have in your register. This is the easiest way to detect any errors that may occur.
