Getting the ideaBanks have different types of accounts for your
money. A bank account earns interest if the bank pays you an additional amount each month for keeping your money at the bank.
A checking account is used to pay bills and earns little or no interest.
A savings account is used to save money and always pays you some amount of interest.

Checking Accounts
When you open a checking account you receive:• Checkbook: holds your checks, the register,
and usually deposit slips.• Register: used to record the checks you write,
withdrawals you make, and the deposits you make.
• Deposit slip: used to deposit money to your account.

Checking Accounts
• Debit card: used to make purchases electronically or to withdraw money from an automated teller machine (ATM).– The money is quickly deducted from your checking
account.

Example 1• Casey wants to open a checking account. Her
bank provides her with two choices. A description of each is shown in the table. Casey plans to have her paycheck deposited to the account each week and expects to keep a balance of about $5,000 in her account. Which checking account should Casey choose?

Strategy: Use the information from
the table• Step 1: Compare how Casey will use the
account to the accounts offered by the bank.– Casey plans to have her paycheck direct
deposited, so she will not be charged a monthly fee if she chooses Checking Account 1.
– She expects to keep a minimum balance of $5,000 in her account. If she chooses Checking Account 2, she will be charged $25 per month.

Strategy: Use the information from
the table• Step 2: Make a decision– Checking Account 2 earns interest, but probably
not enough interest to earn as much as the monthly fee of $25. She is better off opening the account where she will not be charged a fee.
SolutionCasey should choose Checking Account 1.
